HOUSTON --- The Houston Aeros are proud to announce that Chay Genoway has been named the team’s winner of the IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year award for his outstanding contributions to the Houston community during the 2011-12 season.
A native of Morden, Manitoba, Genoway is in his rookie pro season after a four-year collegiate career at the University of North Dakota. The 25-year-old ranks fifth in team scoring with 31 points (7-24=31), is fourth on the team with 24 assists and leads all Aeros defensemen in points. He has registered 20 (5-15=20) of his 31 points via the power play.
Off the ice, Genoway has been one of the first Aeros players to sign up for community appearances throughout the season. Genoway, 25, has represented the Aeros by providing encouragement at youth hockey practices, by visiting schools to read to students and by participating in several “Skate with the Aeros” events. In addition, Genoway helped lead the Aeros involvement in the annual Elves and More Bicycle Build, in which he and several teammates helped assemble bicycles prior to Christmas for distribution to help change the lives of children.
Genoway is now one of 30 finalists for the AHL’s 2011-12 Yanick Dupre Memorial Award, honoring the overall IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year. The league award is named after the former Hershey Bears forward and AHL All-Star who died in 1997 following a 16-month battle with leukemia. The winner of the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award will be announced by the American Hockey League in the coming weeks.
