Alphonse Picard is recognized as the driving force behind what we know today as the Amesbury Youth Hockey League (AYHL). Mr. Picard was the first youth hockey instructor in the Town of Amesbury. He also was a member of the original North Shore Maples hockey team. When Amesbury had an outdoor rink in the Town Park, Mr. Picard was known to be at the park at 6:00am to prepare the ice for the town’s skaters. He single-handedly led groups of youth in drills and scrimmages at the Town Park rink, beginning in 1956. He coached the youth of Amesbury and watched the sport of hockey grow in popularity during the reign of Bobby Orr as a Boston Bruin. He oversaw the construction of three different rinks in Amesbury and is considered the father of the Amesbury Youth Hockey League.
His efforts, along with other concerned and dedicated individuals, were directed toward the instruction of Amesbury’s youth in the skills, strategy, and sportsmanship involved in the sport of ice hockey, as well as instilling an appreciation for the game. It is these efforts that the Amesbury Youth Hockey League would like to honor through the awarding of the Amesbury Youth Hockey League’s Annual Alphonse Picard Award.
To be considered for the Alphonse Picard Award, the individual must have been actively involved as a volunteer in the advancement of hockey in the greater Amesbury area and exemplified the ideals of the Amesbury Youth Hockey League as described in the League’s Bylaws. Candidates must not have been an active participant in the Amesbury Youth Hockey League during the past three years to be considered for this award.
