Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) commissioner Larry Martel presented Kelowna Chiefs co-captain Myles Mattila, founder of the Remembering Grant Sheridan Scholarship, with a cheque for $2,500 prior to the Chiefs’ home game.
“Thank you to Larry Martel and the KIJHL for your support towards Remembering Grant Sheridan Scholarship,” says Mattila. “The scholarship will be recognizing an individual who promotes educational achievement, community involvement and hockey commitment.”
Launched in September, the scholarship is available to all KIJHL players.
