50 Years of Sport PEI Awards – Scott Chandler
The 2023 Sport PEI awards will be our 50th edition! To celebrate this milestone, we wanted to take a look back at those who have received the Lieutenant Governor’s award as PEI’s top athlete of the year.
Scott Chandler – 1992 – Gymnastics
Scott Chandler won the Lieutenant Governor’s award in 1992 for his accomplishments in the sport of gymnastics. Chandler was awarded the Roland Michener Canada Games Award, which is handed out to an athlete that best exemplifies athletic ability, strong leadership qualities, and academic excellence. In 1992, Scott also competed in the uber competitive U18 category where he would earn himself a national gold medal, as well as becoming the first ever person from Prince Edward Island to be named to the junior national team for gymnastics.
