      Sunny Yee Hockey Finder Scholarship


      Honoring a Legacy of Love for the Game

      The Sunny Yee Hockey Finder Scholarship Fund is named in memory of Sunny Yee, the beloved wife of co-founder Derrik Dyka. As a supportive spouse and dedicated "hockey mom" to their sons, Gavin and Griffin, Sunny's love for the hockey community ran deep. She left us in July after a courageous battle with cancer, but her legacy lives on through this scholarship.

      Who Can Apply

      Open to college students of families playing in any Hockey Finder division or leagues. Applications will be accepted at pre-determined times throughout the year. Check back for the next application window.
