The West Chester Wolves NCDC coaching staff has named forward Connor Stokes the recipient of the Hustle Hard Award for the 2024-25 season. A relentless competitor, Stokes appeared in 51 regular-season games, tallying 7 goals, 6 assists, and 13 points while bringing a high-energy presence every shift.
"Connor embodies what it means to be a Wolf," said Head Coach and GM R.C. Lyke. "His work ethic, compete level, and dedication to his teammates never waver. This award is about heart and commitment, and Connor has both in spades."

Associate Head Coach and Assistant GM Tyler Casillo echoed the sentiment: "Stokes may not always show up on the scoresheet, but his impact is undeniable. Whether it's winning a key battle, blocking a shot, or setting the tone with his effort, he's a guy every team needs."
Stokes' leadership and relentless hustle were instrumental in the Wolves’ inaugural NCDC season, and his recognition as the Hustle Hard Award winner is well-earned.
