NORWICH - A long time trainer for the Norwich Merchants has been honoured for his dedication to the local Junior C hockey team.

Mark Baxter was presented with the PJHL Trainer of the Year Award at Nor-Del Arena last Tuesday, ahead of Game 6 of the Merchants semifinal series against the Woodstock Navy Vets. PJHL South Conference Manager Steve Sumka was on site for the presentation.

Norwich finished in fifth place in the Doherty Division standings during the 2025-2026 regular season. They were eliminated after suffering after losing their best-of-seven semifinal series against the Woodstock Navy Vets 4-2.
