The player does not win any money, youth hockey receives the money.  Pro Set
sponsors the player of the week, month and year.  Each winner is awarded the
right to choose a youth hockey organization that will receive a monetary
award.  (I think the money is $600, $1200, and $8000 - or thereabouts).  Mario
won the award for the first two weeks of this season and gave the money to the
Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey Association.  Last season Mats donated his winnings
(some week during Feb/Mar) to an amateur hockey federation in Quebec.  I
assume he has chosen the same organization this season.
