Being selected as a recipient of the OHF bursary has been such an honor. I am very thankful to have received it as it has helped me cover my tuition cost. To this day, being selected as a recipient has provided me with more confidence not only on the ice but also off the ice. I Will forever remember the day when I saw the congratulations email.
