GGHA/GHRA Bursary Program
In partnership with the Guelph Hockey Referee’s Association (GHRA), the
Guelph Girls Hockey Association (GGHA) is proud to offer
$150 bursaries (up to five per year) to current or former GGHA
members who have successfully become certified officials with the GHRA.
This bursary is a way to recognize and support our players who continue their involvement in the
game by becoming referees—helping to grow and give back to the hockey community.

“I would encourage anyone who loves hockey to join the GGHA. Seeing female referees inspired me to
become one, and now I hope to inspire others. The GGHA provides such a strong sense of community.
Becoming a player here is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As a ref in the GHRA, I get to
give back to the association I grew up with.”
