The Mark Weiss Iron Man Award is presented to female and male student athletes who demonstrate extreme dedication and fortitude by playing every game during the hockey season for the University of Utah Skatin’ Utes.
Mark played for the the team during the 2010-11 Season. His relentless work ethic and enduring pursuit of self-improvement left an indelible mark on Utah Hockey and for that we proclaim the Iron Man Award after him and all he represents.
For those who didn’t know Mark, he joined the United States Navy in 2000 and became an enlisted member of the United States Navy SEALs. After several tours and countless missions he returned to the University of Utah to finish his degree in Exercise Science.
Mark was in Africa with the Coronado-based Special Boat Team 12, Navy Special Warfare Group 4 when he passed away on November 11, 2017. His decorations included the Bronze Star Medal with a Combat “V” and the Navy Marine Corps Commendation Medal with a Combat “V” for battlefield valor.
