Superintendent Armand Pires, Principal John Murray and Athletic Director Jeff Parcells are pleased to share that Medway High School student-athlete Haley MacLeod was recognized with a Boston Bruins-Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) Sportsmanship Award.

MacLeod was honored on Tuesday, March 21, at an on-ice ceremony during the second intermission of the Bruins’ home game against the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden. MacLeod was one of 31 students honored at the event — all of whom were given tickets and invited to a pre-game reception. 

MacLeod, a senior, is captain of the Medway/Ashland High School Girls Varsity Hockey Team. The team finished this season with a 9-9-3 record.

As part of a note submitted for the award, Head Coach Karl Infanger said, “Haley is a senior captain who has been an inspiration to the entire Medway community. After suffering burns in a cooking accident that covered 60% of her body, her positive attitude, hard work and determination to get back on the ice for her senior year was nothing more than extraordinary.”

For the past 21 years, the Bruins and the MIAA have teamed up to honor high school hockey players from across the Commonwealth who best demonstrate leadership qualities on and off the ice. When selecting the winners for this award, a statewide committee of principals, superintendents and athletic directors looks for student-athletes who have:

An exemplary record of complying, both in spirit and letter, with all league and MIAA rules and regulations during the season

A demonstrated record of respectfully accepting the rulings of game officials

A record of conduct on and off the ice that brings honor to one’s self, team, school and community

A commitment to teamwork by providing all members with recognition of their talents

A demonstrated respect for opponents before, during and after games
