It also teaches the players that giving back to the community is beneficial in many ways. It allows young adults to give future generations incentive to keep supporting the hockey community in whatever ways they can because the OHF is willing to assist you because you assisted children with the game you love. “ Jessica Perdue – 2011 Recipient “ Hockey has played a great role in my life as I have played since I was 5 years old. It was a great honour to receive the OHF bursary because it rewards those who have dedicated themselves to the sport while also balancing school and volunteering in the community. It was nice to be recognized in this manner and was a fitting end to my minor hockey career, which has made a major impact on who I am today. I continue to play hockey with my friends in university and referee when time permits. Thanks again for awarding me with the bursary and giving others like myself this opportunity.” Elliott Leifer – 2011 Recipient Follow Us On Twitter
