Messenger Sports Awards: David Laroche shares his top picks for the 2022-2023 winter season | Sports

What are the Messenger Sports Awards? We thought it would be fun to highlight some of the athletes that caught our eye in ways that might not have appeared on a scorer sheet. The selection will reflect the teams each reporter/photographer spent the most time reporting.
