The 6th annual Denver Sports Fans Choice Awards showcased the 2006-2007 sports season.

Sports legends, team accomplishments and memorable moments from this year’s Denver sports scene were highlighted.

Special honors were presented to those athletes who go above and beyond the call of duty by giving back to the community and causes close to their hearts. These athletes who are strong role models to our children, and who give unselfishly of themselves to those in need, were honored with ‘The Hometown Hero’ award. This year's recipients included: Coach Dan Hawkins; Colorado University, Domonique Foxworth; Broncos, Saul Patu; Crush, John Gallant; Mammoth, Kenyon Martin; Nuggets, and from the Rockies: Brad Hawpe.

Young up and coming players demonstrating skills and promising futures were nominated for this year’s 2007 Rising Star Award. The award, which was renamed the Darrent Williams Rising Star award was presented to Paul Stastny of the Avs and Troy Tulowitzki of the Rockies.

This year's Most Valuable Player award went to Rockies player, Matt Holliday.

The Rockies were honored with the Outstanding Team Achievement Award, and Ed McCaffrey was honored with this year's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Stand up comedy by John Caponera rounded out the evening and all net proceeds from the evening's silent auction once again benefited the Gold Crown Foundation.
