In his book, "You Are What You Love," Dr. James K. A. Smith points to Jesus’ interaction with two of John the Baptist’s disciples to reveal what he believes is the most significant issue of Christian discipleship. In John 1:35-38, Jesus abruptly addresses the two men with the question, “What do you want?” Smith argues that Jesus’ question is so pointed, because “we are what we want” or in other words “we are what we love.” Jesus cares about what people know and what people “Jesus cares about what believe, but the truth is that what people know and what we long for and desire—what we people believe, but the love—is the core of our identity truth is that what we long and the source of our actions for and desire—what we and behavior. Proverbs 4:23 love—is the core of our teaches, “Above all else, guard identity and the source of your heart, for everything you do our actions and behavior.” flows from it.” For the past 22 years, Southwest Christian High School has At SWCHS we are seeking to develop mature disciples of been known as a discipleship school.

No school, curriculum, or teacher can make a student love As a teacher, coach, and administrator at SWCHS over the God; however, I firmly believe God is powerfully using the past 17 years, I have heard hundreds of people share what curriculum, teachers, and community of SWCHS to help our discipleship should look like at SWCHS. People talk about students to not simply think like Christ but to also love like studying Scripture and sound doctrine, Christ-centered Christ. mentoring and community worship, discipleship groups and chapel, and service and mission projects. All of these are vital elements of our curriculum, programming, and school culture. Dan Beckering More than anything, people talk about helping students Head of School to think biblically about all areas of life.

    2009-10 WCHA MEN’S YEARBOOK HONORS & AWARDS WCHA PLAYER OF THE YEAR HISTORY OF THE AWARD ince 1960, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association has annually honored a confer- ence member team player deemed either as the league’s Most Valuable Player or as the Sleague’s Player of the Year. From 1960 to 1981, the league’s Most Valuable Player Award was administered by The Denver Post. The first winner of the MVP honor was forward Jerry Walker of Denver. Since 1981, the WCHA’s top individual on-ice award has been voted on by different com- binations of conference-member coaches, student-athletes, sports information directors, and media. In 1992, a vote of conference head coaches changed the official designation of the award from ‘WCHA Most Valuable Player’ to ‘WCHA Player of the Year’ in order to better describe the honor. Three players in 52 seasons have won the league’s top on-ice honor more than once … goaltender Murray McLachlan of Minnesota (1969, 1970), forward Doug Palazzari of Colorado College (1972, 1974), and forward Brian Bonin of Minnesota (1995, 1996).

  • Honors & Awards
    2009-10 WCHA MEN’S YEARBOOK HONORS & AWARDS THE HOBEY BAKER MEMORIAL AWARD HISTORY OF THE AWARD he Hobey Baker Memorial Award is presented annually to the college hockey player who best exemplifies the qualities that Princeton University’s Hobey Baker himself demon- Tstrated as an athlete and as a servant of his country in the early 1900’s. Hobey Baker was a pure sportsman and despised foul play. As a player, he opened up the game with his speed and skills, setting new standards for the way the game was played. Prior to the announcement of the winner, there is an announcement of the Top 10 Finalists and then a Hobey ‘Hat Trick’ of the top three finalists. The first recipient of the award in 1981 – Neal Broten of Minnesota – was from the WCHA. Other Hobey Baker winners from the WCHA have been Tom Kurvers, D, UMD, 1984; Bill Watson, F, UMD, 1985; Tony Hrkac, F, UND, 1987; Robb Stauber, G, UM, 1988; Chris Marinucci, F, UMD, 1994; Brian Bonin, F, UM, 1996; Jordan Leopold, D, UM, 2002; Peter Sejna, F, CC, 2003; Junior Lessard, F, UMD, 2004; Marty Sertich, F, CC, 2005; Matt Carle, D, DU, 2006; and Ryan Duncan, F, UND, 2007. Duncan became the WCHA’s sixth consecutive Hobey winner and 13th overall. THE HOBEY BAKER STORY Hobey Baker had all the attributes of a fabulous athlete: a great physique, fantastic reflexes, instant coordination of hand and eye, iron discipline, blazing courage. But he was different. Hobey Baker was the college athlete supreme: The gentleman sportsman, the amateur in the pure sense, playing the game for the sport, who never fouled, despised publicity and refused professional offers.
