The AHL Award is named the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award.  The award is named in memory of Hershey Bears standout forward and All-Star Yanick Dupre who died in 1997 after a 16-month battle with leukemia.

Street took part in numerous community service projects.  Some of those projects included donating Christmas presents to over 20 children for the Family Enrichment Network, taking part in the Toys-for-Tots Spaghetti Dinner and leading his teammates in a Food-A-Bago food drive to help CHOW.

The winner of the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award will be announced by the American Hockey League later this year.
