The John Carlton Memorial Trophies are given annually by the Boston Bruins to the outstanding female and male student athletes in Massachusetts high school or junior hockey. The Trophies are awarded to students who excel in hockey and in off-ice endeavors, including academics and extracurriculars. The award is in honor of the late Bruins scout and administrator John Carlton, who passed in December of 1982 after a long and dedicated tenure in hockey at all levels of the game.
O'Leary played with both Nobles and Assabet Valley Girls Hockey, where she was a five-time Massachusetts State Champion and 2018 USA Hockey National Championship finalist. O'Leary spent her senior season as captain at Nobles with 34 goals and 30 assists through 30 games, earning ISL MVP and All-NEPSAC honors. Outside of hockey, O'Leary participates in multiple clubs and volunteer opportunities, including the Campuses Against Cancer club, tutoring, and field hockey.
Fisher finished his senior season at St. Mark's School in Southborough as captain, where he was voted by coaches as the league's MVP and an All-NEPSAC player. St. Mark's won their second consecutive league championship, with Fisher contributing 13 goals and 37 assists for 50 points in 22 games. Fisher also competed in lacrosse until his junior year at St. Mark's, and plans to play a season with the USHL's Youngstown Phantoms after graduation in the spring.
O'Leary will continue her hockey career at Princeton University next season, and Fisher has committed to play at Northeastern University beginning with the 2023-24 season. Both players will be honored at the Bruins game against the Buffalo Sabres on April 28 at TD Garden.
