Branson Appelman

Branson Appelman is the 88th male winner of the Hy Truman-Donald Goldberg Memorial Award.  He has always wanted to play hockey at the highest level and because he lives in Maple Grove, Minnesota, he had to leave the state to do so.  Minnesota High School rules do not allow a player to play AAA hockey and high school hockey at the same time.  His junior high years were spent in Omaha, NE, and his high school years were spent in St. Louis, MO. playing AAA hockey.  Every school year he would leave home to play both high school and AAA hockey.  In the summer he would return home to train.  He also found time to play Lacrosse in the spring.  He was an all-state goalie, captain of his team and compiled a 92-36 record in four seasons at the AAA level.  He was also a Silver Medalist representing the USA at the 2022 Maccabiah Games in Israel.  In addition, he was also an excellent student with a high school GPA of 4.1 out of 4.0.  He will play Junior A hockey this coming year in St. Cloud and eventually hopes to play Division 1 hockey at the Air Force Academy. 

Rose Neuman


Rose Neuman is the 37th female winner of the Hy Truman-Rae Kleinbaum Memorial Award.  She was the captain of her Eden Prairie fast pitch softball team and was one of the reasons her team made it to this years’ State Tournament.  Unfortunately Rose broke her finger and needed surgery in the game before the tournament and was not able to play.  Rose led her team in home runs and RBIs.  She was selected to the Lake Conference All Conference team.  Rose is an AP Scholar with a 4.0 GPA and will be attending the University of Michigan in the fall.  Finally, Rose is a Sunday School volunteer at the Bet Shalom Congregation.
