We’re happy to announce that the Halifax Hurricanes “Give it Back” Bursary Program is now open for applications!
This bursary will be awarded to two U19 players from the 2023-24 ringette season who have committed to the sport of ringette through active involvement of giving back and through participation in the Halifax Hurricanes Ringette Association (HHRA) during at least the past three years.
The bursary will be awarded to eligible players who are enrolled in full-time studies at a post-secondary education institution in the fall 2024 semester. Applicants must be members in good standing with HHRA and Ringette Nova Scotia (RNS). Halifax Hurricanes players who are single carded for provincial teams will be allowed to apply if in good standing with RNS. A player may only be awarded the bursary one time.

The selection committee will review the applications and decide based on participation and personal involvement in ringette.
-
The selection committee reserves the right to not award a bursary if a suitable application is not received.
