Sam Poulin on Tuesday was named Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's winner of the IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year award, awarded annually to the player from each team for "outstanding contributions to the local community and charitable organizations."
The winners of the award for each team serve as the nominees for the Yanick Dupré Memorial Award, with the AHL selecting the winner.
Poulin's selection comes from his advocacy in mental health awareness, sharing his own story about getting help and encouraging others to reach out and seek help themselves. He participated in a number of other initiatives over the course of the season, including helping to set up a visit to the pediatric unit at Wyoming Valley Medical Center.
