The Western Canada Pro Hockey Scouts Foundation have announced their 2024 Recognition and Dedication Service Awards, which features multiple ties to the Vancouver Canucks. Among those receiving the award this year are former Scout Mike Penny and current Amateur Scout Ron Delorme. Earlier in the week, the WCPHS also announced their inaugural Wall of Honour class, which included former Canucks Scouts Ted Hampson and Ross Mahoney.
Penny joined Vancouver during the 1981-82 season and stayed with the organization for nearly two decades. He was part of the Canucks during both their 1982 and 1994 Stanley Cup Finals runs and was with the organization when they drafted franchise legends like Trevor Linden, Pavel Bure, Gino Odjick, Mattias Öhlund, as well as Daniel and Henrik Sedin. Penny left the organization after the 1999-00 season and has been a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs since.
As for Delorme, he has been with Vancouver for the majority of his hockey life. As a player, Delorme played 210 games with the Canucks from 1981-1985, recording 37 points and 383 penalty minutes. After announcing his retirement, he joined Vancouver as an Amateur Scout from 1986-87 and has been with the organization since. In 2000, he was named the Canucks Head Amateur Scout and held the position until 2022. Today, Delorme is still an Amateur Scout and is one of the few people in hockey to spend over 40 years with the same organization.
