Shamrock Cup supporting Paul Nelson Memorial Scholarship
Game on! Students, faculty and staff at Nipissing University are taking their hockey sticks to the asphalt for some road hockey action, as well as a charity BBQ and a chance to win fantastic prizes in the first ever Shamrock Cup, Tuesday, April 10, from noon to 2 p.m.
There’s still opportunity to get your team registered for the Shamrock Cup; team registration has been extended to April 9. To enter a team, please contact one of the organizers:Dr. Mark Bruner,Laura McKenzie, orJennifer Buell.
All proceeds from the Shamrock Cup support the Paul Nelson Scholarship Fund.
Paul Nelson was a hard working and well-respected student in Nipissing’s BPHE program, who volunteered with his local fire department. Paul died in 2012 in a tragic accident while responding to a fire call. To honour his memory, Nelson’s friends and Nipissing BPHE faculty created a scholarship in his name and are raising funds each year by virtue of an annual student-vs-faculty hockey game, and this new road hockey tournament.
You can support the Paul Nelson Scholarship without having to play road hockey, too. Anyone who would like tomake a donation can do so online, right here.
