Our original trophy honours the first Nova Scotia director on the national executive.  Roy was a strong vocal supporter of the national program.  In the first tournament in 1993 he was the manager of the Richmond Gannets (forerunners of today's Petit de Grat Red Caps).

Roy's concern was always for the improvement of the newly created National baseball program in Canada, and oldtimers' baseball in his home province.  He was a true gentleman, respected by all for his dedication to his family, his teaching profession, and athletics.

Note: Age limit lowered from 35 to 33 for 2021.

Roy passed away in 2001.
