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.
