Formerly known as the Neil Saunders Memorial Award, the original trophy was presented annually by the Lloydminster Aquanauts Swim Team to the ASSA for the Boys Senior Aggregate Winner.  The award was established by then Aquanauts coach Bill Armstrong in memory of Neil Saunders, a member of the Aquanauts from 1970 to 1981, following a tragic accident that claimed his life.  Neil’s competitive spirit and athletic ability enabled him to consistently compete at the Provincial level where he excelled in Butterfly and as a member of the senior relay team. In 1995, at the request of the Saunders family, the Lloydminster Swim Club graciously agreed to retire the Neil Saunders Memorial Trophy and ASSA introduced the ASSA Awards of Excellence in its place.  The original trophy remains with the Saunders family.
