Volunteers from all over the province were honoured at the Centre Circle Awards on Saturday.
A classy, gala event, presented by Nothers Signs and Recognition, it was the second year of the refreshed awards program, which expands the current awards structure to reflect a more inclusive and accurate representation of those who exemplify the best in Ontario and who have made outstanding contributions to the game.
Coaches, clubs, leagues, match officials, administrators and those who have dedicated a lifetime to the game, all took a moment to be honoured in the Centre Circle.
Steven Caldwell, a TSN soccer analyst and voice of soccer broadcasts on the network, was the host for the evening and took attendees down memory lane for the evening's winners.
The Centre Circle Awards are Ontario Soccer’s highest level of recognition and are presented annually to deserving volunteers and organizations nominated on the basis of their outstanding contributions to the development of soccer in Ontario and Canada.
