Named for SYHA founding father Ted Neby and first awarded in1976. Ted was instrumental in starting hockey
program in Sioux City and was a leader and a gentleman in every sense of the word. This award is meant to remember
his tremendous contributions to what would someday become Siouxland Youth Hockey, and to recognize the accomplishments
of the honored player.
Past recipients of the Neby award have traveled in many different directions, however, all have taken their skills and disciplines developed
on the ice, in the classroom and around the community and applied them to building successful lives beyond their high school years.
This award is presented annually by the Board of Directors to any SYHA player who exhibits outstanding leadership and community spirit
both on and off the ice. A player who is willing to give his/her skills to the improvement of both our hockey program and our community.
