(Presented by TSN and named after their highly-respected producer and executive producer who passed away to cancer at the age of 39 in December 2005. His legacy lives on in an award that honours a media person who has made a lasting contribution behind the scenes to the betterment of our sport.)

2026 winner — Graham Zapf

Graham Zapf’s contributions to TSN’s curling broadcasts aren’t seen, but they’re certainly heard. He has been the audio engineer for TSN curling for more than two decades, and has been part of the television industry since 1981. A resident of Abbotsford, B.C., Graham’s mastery of story-telling through sound has been a crucial element of the success of TSN curling.
