Sunny Yee HockeyFinder Scholarship

Sunny Yee HockeyFinder Scholarship

Hockey Finder is proud to present the Sunny Yee HockeyFinder Scholarship. Sunny brought a smile and boundless kindness to the rink, where she spent many days and weekends supporting her sons on their hockey journey. Sunny’s support of the Hockeyfinder.com community helped it to grow and become what it is today. Hockey Finder strives to make hockey accessible to all experience and ability levels, and we’re glad to honor Sunny’s memory and give back to our community by supporting students in our Hockey Finder family.

Hockey Finder will award four scholarships in 2023 (each for up to $1000) to be used for the 2023-2024 academic year. We are seeking individuals who are active in the hockey community and are pursing their dreams through higher education.

PARENTS: If you are a parent and applying for a scholarship for yourself, we encourage you to apply!
