A new creation of an award would be the Simulation Hockey Interleague award for Trying.  When you're good and keep up with all of your PT's but you just aren't good enough the award can be handed out, sort of like a participation trophy to all players that could make a list (like top 10 in saves for goalies, or top 10 in points for skaters, etcetera) but just weren't good enough to be number 1.  These players are the real backbone of the community and strive diligently to make their player the best they could possibly be...sometimes even in excess of certain target scores (LPLL & penalty minutes.  Yeah, I'm looking at you pal.  I still remember the stick across the goalie mask.)   It would be at minimum some validation that "Hey, you have a good player.  At least you tried".  That's the kind of award I would make.
