  AJAY BAINES NAMED HAMILTON'S AHL MAN OF THE YEAR Hamilton Bulldogs - AJAY BAINES NAMED HAMILTON'S AHL MAN OF THE YEAR
  
  AJAY BAINES NAMED HAMILTON'S AHL MAN OF THE YEAR 07 action smilesonice 2008-03-27 12:23:56 HAMILTON, ON The Hamilton Bulldogs are proud to announce that forward Ajay Baines has been named the teams winner of the American Specialty/AHL Man of the Year award for his outstanding contributions to the Hamilton community during the 2007-2008 season.
  
  Baines, a 30-year-old native of Kamloops, British Columbia, has made the greatest commitment to the community and charitable organizations over the course of the season. He was the player representative for the Bulldogs annual TD Canada Trust Smiles on Ice game, an event that has now raised over $225,000 for McMaster Childrens Hospital in the last 12 years. The Dogs Captain is also one of the team leaders in regularly scheduled player appearances to minor hockey practices, schools and autograph signings, including many unscheduled appearances in which Baines took it upon himself to enrich the lives of those less fortunate.
  
  Suffering from Type 1 diabetes since the age of 16 and wearing an insulin pump at all times on the ice, Baines won the 2007 Canadian Diabetes Associations Regional Inspiration Award earlier this season. The CDAs Regional Inspiration Award is intended to recognize either an individual or family who has overcome great odds to manage their diabetes and continue to live a fulfilling, active and inspiring life. The individual or family has achieved success in their personal life or community, in spite of the diagnosis of the disease.
  
  Baines became a representative of one of the Bulldogs Foundations new educational programs, Read Like a Pro. Players such as Ajay and the teams mascot Bruiser would visit local schools, read to students and invite students to read to them to encourage literacy and reading. He was also the Bulldogs head table guest at the 57th Annual BNai Brith Sports Celebrity Dinner, and was heavily involved in the Foundations Cool to Care anti-bullying event.
  
  Now a three-time winner of the award, Baines was previously named the Norfolk Admirals American Specialty/AHL Man of the Year twice in 2000-2001 and 2004-2005. In recognition of his efforts this season, Baines will be presented with an etched crystal trophy during an on-ice presentation prior to an upcoming Bulldogs home game.
  
  Baines is also now one of 29 finalists for the AHLs 2007-2008 Yanick Dupre Memorial Award, honoring the overall American Specialty/AHL Man of the Year.

  SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- The American Hockey League announced today that center Ajay Baines of the Iowa Chops has been named the 2008-09 winner of the Fred T. Hunt Memorial Award as the AHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship, determination and dedication to hockey.
  
  The award is voted on by coaches, players and members of the media in each of the league's 29 cities.
  
  The captain of the first-year Chops, Baines has long been a well respected member of the American Hockey League. Since being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a teenager, Baines, who wears an insulin pump at all times on the ice, has carved out a successful career that included a Calder Cup championship with Hamilton in 2007. This season with Iowa, the 5-foot-10, 182-pound Baines has topped the 70-game mark for the seventh time in the AHL, totaling seven goals and 23 assists for 30 points in 77 contests while accumulating a career-low 53 penalty minutes.
  
  A 31-year-old native of Kamloops, B.C., Baines was undrafted out of junior hockey but has gone on to play 645 games in the American Hockey League over the past nine seasons. Before wearing the "C" in Iowa he served as team captain in both Norfolk and Hamilton, and scored the Cup-clinching goal for the Bulldogs in the 2007 finals.

  Ajay Baines answered.He was one of the tenants, one of the elder statesmen playing for the Hamilton Bulldogs, and the call was from an old friend.The friend talked about the kid, Carey Price, and joked about how he seemed to be following in the footsteps of a patron saint in the organization, Patrick Roy.
  
  "Hey Pricer," Baines called over.

  Price's eyes, fixed on the television, flicked over to Baines and back.
