About the Program

The Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) Scholarship was introduced in 1997 to recognize and reward dedication in education and hockey. The program provides financial assistance to registered OHF participants to offset the cost of post-secondary education. Since its inception, the OHF has distributed more than $520,000 to over 460 post-secondary students.

The scholarships are awarded to outstanding young people who display commitment at the arena and in the classroom. The recipients are determined on the basis of academic achievements, hockey and community involvement.

Daniela Grottoli has been recognized as this year’s Top Recipient. She also receives the Jim Stirling Scholarship Award, donated by BFL Canada. 

Noah Bullock, Maylin Ferras, Addison Trepanier, and Daniela Grottoli have also been recognized as exceptional candidates, receiving additional funding, generously supported by Anmar Mechanical and Electrical Contractors Ltd.

B.F. Lorenzetti (BFL) is the insurance provider for Hockey Canada and its Branches. One of their objectives is to assist in the funding of young athletes and officials. In an effort to honor the contributions of long serving BFL colleague and friend Jim Stirling, BFL Canada has decided to change the name of the BFL Canada Risk and Insurance Scholarship program to the Jim Stirling Scholarship Program. Awarded to a participant in their graduating year of high school.
