Dakotah Woods, from Chapleau, who is playing for the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, is the winner of the 2015 annual Buckwheat Award.
Dakotah, 17, who now lives in North Bay, the son of Isabelle (Saunders) and Gordon Woods, had the two most popular stories on The Michael J Morris Report, making him the award winner. He is also a member of Brunswick House First Nation.
He started his hockey career in Chapleau and before joining the Remparts, he played for the Elliot Lake Wildcats of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League.
The Buckwheat Award is named after my beloved cat who died in 2009, shortly after I had started the blog. Previous winners include Harry Pellow, Michael McMullen, Ian Macdonald, John Theriault, Larry Martel and Kevin Walker.
Congratulations Dakotah, and thanks for your cooperation --- and to your Dad too!!
