Congratulations to Des Moines Oak Leafs senior Carter Hobbs and Des Moines Capitals senior Will Young on receiving a $1000 Scholarship Award in honor of Craig Long. While his son, Scott is currently the coach of the Des Moines Oak Leafs, Craig Long was a long time and avid supporter of hockey in Des Moines. After his passing, the Des Moines Youth Hockey Association established this scholarship to be awarded each year to a graduating senior as a way to honor and remember Craig and his contributions to hockey in Des Moines. Pictured here are Carter Hobbs, Doug Borud from Des Moines Youth Hockey, Craig Long’s 5 children and Will Young.

Capitals have secured spots in the state tournament.
