Sport PEI will be recognizing the accomplishments made by those in the PEI sport community each month. If you know of any accomplishments from this past month, we ask that you submit them here. Submissions can be made for athletes, coaches, volunteers, teams, officials, or events.

Unfortunately, not all submissions will be included in our monthly recap, depending on what we receive that month.
