Teen wins Port Moody’s Youth Sports Award
A lot of hard work has earned a young athlete some prestigious hardware.
Hockey and lacrosse para athlete Spencer Moore was presented with Port Moody’s 2025 Youth Sports Award on Tuesday.
Moore is a founding member of the Lower Mainland’s only youth para ice hockey team in the Lower Mainland, the Surrey Canucks. With a little help from the Coquitlam Adanacs and a national program for inclusive sport called Lacrossing Barriers, the teen has also taken up lacrosse.

As the West Coast’s senior ambassador for Lacrossing Barriers, Moore encourages youths to try Canada’s other national sport.
“Spencer is an exceptional young athlete who has made positive contributions to the accessible sports movement in the Lower Mainland. He is an incredible example of what it truly means to be an inspirational athlete, an innovator, and a positive mentor,” stated Port Moody Mayor Meghan Lahti in a release.
A post from Lacrossing Barriers lauded Moore for embodying: “hard work, fun, grit and gratitude.”
The award is meant to recognize an individual between the ages of 12 and 19 who has made exceptional contributions to further the “growth, reputation, and/or character of sport.”
