This trophy honors the Van Valkenburg family, all of whom played an important role in the Club. Florence was the Club's test chair for many years. Her husband John was a terrific volunteer for the Club. Their son, Robert was a competitor who first started skating as therapy for his severe orthopedic medical issues. To everyone's surprise and delight, Robert overcame those medical issues to become a formidable singles competitor. After John passed away, this memorial trophy in the family's honor was created. It is awarded to the most outstanding overall performance for the competition.
