Lifetime Honorary PenguinsOn special occasions, the Penguin award jury presents a lifetime honorary penguin award to persons involved with intercrosse to reward them for their work. Over the years, three honorary awards have been presented; In 2007, the resigning FIIC president and creator of intercrosse, Pierre Filion, was awarded the first honorary penguin award. As creator of the sport and co-founder of the FIIC, this was only a small token of appreciation from the intercrosse community. In 2009, Floriana Cotnoir Ranno, Italy, was given the honorary award for her dedication and hard work with development of intercrosse internationally over the past 25 years. In 2011, the 10th anniversary of the Penguin Of The Year Award, Martin Beaulieu, Québec, was given the honorary award for his long dedication to intercrosse in general and the rules in particular.
