Steve
Cherwonak, Director of Communications Central Hockey League |
One of the lost tribe
of Candians of the desert, known to his friends as "Chewie," the
good-natured Cherwonak comes to the new CHL's expanded media department
from his former post as head of the WPHL's media department.
Cherwonak earns our top cherub prize for his excellent releases, his prompt
return of calls days, nights, and weekends (Hey Steve, get a life!), and
his dedication to training seminars which aid new media personnel at the
franchises.

Asst. Director of Media Relations

Dedicated
to the memory of
Ralphie Onadakis,
a poor fictional matchboy,
trademarked at birth,
who dreamed of
a job as a
highly-paid
and respected
minor league
media relations director.
This
award is presented annually
to men and women who sneer
in the face of deadlines,
who laugh at crabby
visiting broadcasters,
who get us the scores,
stats, and interviews
that make the job
of this organization just
a tiny bit easier.
Chosen
by the editors of MLN
from amongst more than
four-score of their peers,
we salute the hard work
of the media relations staff
at hundreds of teams
around the nation.
