For the Love of the Game Award

The Saskatoon Umpires Association (SDBUA) and The Trust have created an umpire award. This award is supposed to be awarded to an umpire that exhibits qualities that Quinn did when he umpired. Matt Schule, president of SDBUA, states it this way. "An extraordinary individual who brings fun, laughter and positivity to the diamond. This individual is viewed by the membership as an individual that people look forward to working with due to the experience, warmth and genuine enjoyment that is certain to exist."

This plaque will be awarded to the For the Love of the Game recipient. There also will be a keeper plaque and a cash gift.

He mentioned that working with Ken is always enjoyable. Not only is he a great baseball official, but always keeps everyone laughing and makes it fun to be on the diamond with him. This is exactly what hockey and baseball officials commented on what it was like to work with Quinn the official. Congratulations Ken.
