Yanick Dupré
Joseph Jacques Yanick Dupré was a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who played 35 games over parts of three seasons in the National Hockey League for the Philadelphia Flyers. He died at the age of 24 after a 16-month battle with leukemia.
The Yanick Dupre Memorial Class Guy Award was named after him to honour his memory and is given to the Flyer who best illustrates character, dignity, and respect for the sport both on and off the ice. A similarly named award is also presented by the American Hockey League in recognition of a player's community service.
