The Sparkys

The Sparkys are our annual end-of-years recognizing people in our community and their work. We inaugurated the Sparkys in the December 17th 2022 Championships. Trophies were fabricated by Henchman Sam.

Nominees and winners for most of these awards are handled by an internal panel called the Havocwood Foreign Press, an internal panel of staff and announcers who have seen almost every fight at NHRL this year. (If you're confused about the name, here's an explanation.)
