Yanick Dupre Memorial
The Yanick Dupre Memorial Class Guy Award is an award that honors the memory of Yanick Dupre, who died on August 16, 1997, at the age of 24 after a 16-month battle with leukemia. Dupre played parts of three seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers after he was originally drafted by them in the third round (50th overall) of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft.
Prior to 1999, it was awarded annually (as just the Class Guy Award) to the player on the Philadelphia Flyers who best exemplifies a strong rapport with the media, awarded by the Philadelphia chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association (P.H.W.A.) Starting in 1999, this award was presented annually to the Flyer who best illustrates character, dignity and respect for the sport both on and off the ice, still awarded by the Philadelphia chapter of the P.H.W.A.
