Great night for Heather Moyse at Sport PEI banquet

It was a special night for Olympic bobsled gold medallist Heather Moyse on Wednesday when she picked up three awards at the Sport PEI Awards banquet held in Charlottetown.

In addition to the Senior Female Athlete of the Year, heather was presented with the Bill Halpenny Award for Outstanding International performance, as well as the Lieutenant Governor's Award (left) for PEI's top athlete of the year.
