Steve Hurlbut Memorial Award
Established in 201, this Award is in memory of the late Steve Hurlbut of Dartmouth, who passed away suddenly on October 10, 2010. Steve was a valued long-time member and cherished friend of the Dartmouth Whalers Masters Swim Club.

The Steve Hurlbut Memorial Award recognizes a Dartmouth Whaler who represents Steve’s enthusiasm for sport, commitment to the club, volunteer efforts, team spirit and enjoyment of all things sociable. To nominate a fellow swimmer to please fill out a nomination form found in your email and submit it to our President at president@dwmsc.com before April 30th.
James Mattatall Memorial
Elaine Mattatall is a long time pillar of the Dartmouth Whalers Masters Swim Club. In December 2011, she tragically lost her son, James Philip Mattatall.
James was a graduate of Prince Andrew High School and the NSCC Kentville Campus from the Construction and Industrial Electrical Program. He played Dartmouth Minor Hockey from Atom to Midget and later gave back by coaching. His love of life and family, and his solid sense of decency guided him daily through his personal life and in his work. He loved his chosen career as an electrician and as a fourth year apprentice with Black and MacDonald, his co-workers became a further extension of his family.
