The Scholarship Games
consist of 4 games that are played at the end of the regular
season. Each Divisional level plays a game using
the best senior (preferably) and junior players, as selected
by the Coaching staff of each team. Scholarship Game
selections are allotted according to each team's standing, two
weeks prior to the end of the season. The higher
a team's standing at that time, the more selections allowed.
| The gate proceeds from these
games are used to fund scholarships which are given to Rhode
Island Interscholastic League hockey players who are furthering
their education. Our Association has a committee
of coaches which reviews applications and awards the scholarships. |
The
number of scholarships given in any year is dependent on the
success of the Scholarship Games and contributions. For
the 2005 - 2006 season, scholarships were awarded to Rhode Island
hockey players for use during their Fall, 2006 college semester.

In December, 1999, the Rhode Island
Summer Hockey League, under the direction of Don Armstrong, made
a commitment to the Coaches Association to donate $1,000.00
each year for five years, to the Scholarship Fund to
supplement the amount raised via the gate receipts from the Scholarship
Games. Summer 2006 marked the eighth year that
the Rhode Island Summer Hockey League has made this commitment,
an incredible contribution to Rhode Island High School Hockey
Players!
The RISHL has now increased its donation to $1,500.00 per year
and has earmarked some of that money to go to a qualified applicants
from the Girls Divisions.
The League's generosity constitutes an affirmation
of
their cooperation with the Coaches Association to acknowledge
Rhode Island high school hockey players for;
