The Stratford Aces Hockey Association is proud to introduce a
one-time scholarship in memory of Laura Skinner, generously funded by her friends and family.
Laura was a compassionate, driven, and welcoming teammate who brought joy to everyone around her. Known for her outstanding sportsmanship, she was a role model both on and off the ice.
This scholarship has been established to honor Laura’s legacy by supporting a graduating Aces player who exemplifies sportsmanship and a commitment to helping others. It is intended for a future leader pursuing a career working with children or youth, such as education, child and youth work, or other helping professions—fields that reflect Laura’s values and career aspirations.
Interested players who meet the criteria should follow the current essay submission guidelines and include an additional response (max 250 words) addressing the attached outline.
Please note that the recipient of the Laura Skinner Memorial Scholarship will not be eligible for any other Aces scholarships, and vice versa.
Additional Essay Question (250-word limit):Reflect on a time when you helped someone, either on or off the ice. Consider how your actions made a difference and what you learned about yourself, teamwork, and supporting others. How can you apply these lessons to positively impact others in your education and future career?
