Nick Carter Trophy
Pandas Swimming MVP
The Nick Carter Trophy, presented annually to the most valuable Pandas swimmer, is named for a swimming coach known for his compassion, gentleness, and mission to develop talented young men and women into the best athletes they could be while ensuring all children stayed fit and healthy.
Originally from Port Colborne, Ontario, Nick Carter was a volunteer swimming coach in Edmonton from the late 1920s to the early 1950s, based out of the West Edmonton outdoor pool (now Oliver Pool).
Carter was in the real estate business: his connection to the University of Alberta was simply that many of his friends or students were at one time involved with the Bears and Pandas. Born in the late 1800s, he lived in Edmonton most of his life until he passed away in 1965.
