Birdie Leitza Scholarship Fund

We hold an Alumni Game each year as a fundraiser and this year we are excited to be able to make our vision of giving back to our kids a reality. We will be splitting proceeds from the Alumni Game into five grants to be awarded to one player at each of our five hockey levels.  

Applications for the grants will be accepted until FALL Tryouts.  

Requirements

  • 8U: What is your favorite thing about playing hockey?
  • 10U: What is your favorite thing about playing hockey?
  • 12U: How do you juggle being a student athlete with your hockey schedule?
  • 14U: How do you juggle being a student athlete with your hockey schedule?
  • 18U: How do you juggle being a student athlete with your hockey schedule?
