The Christine Penman Award is to be given to an OHF companion, current or past, who has made a significant contribution to goodwill and cooperation among the OHF companions and within the Board of the OHF. It is given, when warranted, by the Officers at an OHF annual awards weekend.
The award is named in honour of the late Christine Penman, an OHF companion for over a dozen years and, notably, the organizer of the companions' program when the OHF hosted Hockey Canada's AGM in 2002.
