By Candice Coots

Many play so who’s got game? We’ll find out in exactly 31 days when American skateboarding icon, Tony Hawk takes the stage as host of the Cartoon Network’s first-ever awards show, Hall of Game.

“I am excited to host this fun and unique awards show,” Hawk said in a statement. “Like the sports we are honoring, there will be nonstop excitement and all kinds of surprises."

The ultimate sports award show, Hall of Game will air February 25th on Cartoon Network, but you’re invited to join in on the action beforehand. Help select the year’s best athletes, highlights, tricks, teams and everything else in the word of sports, by submitting daily votes for your favorite nominees.

From categories like, “That’s How I Roll,” recognizing athletes with the best threads, "Most Awesome Mascot," celebrating your team's biggest fan, to “My Bad,” the award for the best sports blooper – The Godfather of extreme sports will host it all on Friday February 25th.

The countdown is on. Start planning your Cartoon Network Hall of Game Awards watch party now.

    Tony Hawk is the skater icon of my generation. And the fact that he's hosting the first-ever Hall of Game Awards only adds to his long list of achievements.

    I hope he enters the stage on skateboard and does at least one trick. Better yet, there could be an entire opening act featuring kids doing tricks on their boards. I can't wait to tune it! Is it February 25th yet?

    A great role model he is. I'm not personally a skater but I would look him in out outside of skating. When you talk about skating he is one of the best. Outside of skating. I saw him on Nick on adopting an animal and how we should help them. I think he is a great guy!

    Tony Hawk is the perfect host for this event because he will bring in a wide audience. People well into their 30's remember him being a skateboarding icon when they were teenagers, yet the younger skaters just getting started also know of him. He is the ultimate grown up kid.
