Farmer wins award

[Thomas Elliott]

Robert Farmer beat Evan Mosey and Jack Prince to win "Ice Hockey Player of the Year" at the Nottingham Sports Awards last night, and well deserved too.

Hopefully when he's back on the ice after his injury he'll carry on the good form and hard work that got him the award.

Can't complain about this, even if many others were there or there about.I also would have penned his name down as a recipient.

Confused as to where the nominations for the award come from. Farmer, Mosey and Jack Prince the nominees, only Farmer was born in Nottingham, Mosey is from the U.S. and Prince might as well be too, born in Leicester but played in the states for about 10 years and only played that GB game against Poland here.

I sort of see where you're coming from but i think it's because it's the Nottingham Sports Award for "Ice Hockey Player of the Year", not an award for "Ice Hockey Player from Nottingham of the Year".

Robert Farmer was born in Nottingham and plays for Nottingham.
Evan Mosey plays for Nottingham.
Jack Prince is a product of the Nottingham Junior system and is now plying his trade in the States.

I agree that the Prince nomination might be a bit of a stretch, especially when you consider he's not played in Nottingham since 2007, but Mosey deserved the nomination because of the effort work he's done for Nottingham in the year 2015.
