Cameron Hebig Named Roadrunners Man of the Year
Tucson, Arizona – The Tucson Roadrunners are proud to announce that forward Cameron Hebig has been named the team’s winner of the IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year award for his outstanding contributions to the Tucson community during the 2023-24 season.
In this fourth year with the Roadrunners, Hebig has become a familiar resident of Downtown Tucson and in the Southern Arizona Community. He has appeared as a regular guest instructor at Junior Roadrunners practices and at several public skates both inside Tucson Arena and outdoors at TCC Holiday Ice.
