Player Education Fund – 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization

For every year a player is with the Americans, the team covers one year of tuition, textbooks, and compulsory fees to a post-secondary institution of their choice. The program is a fully guaranteed academic scholarship with no requirement to play university hockey to qualify. Players can use the scholarship for any post-secondary or career-enhancing program of their choice, including trades schools or professional career training programs.

Twenty-six former Americans players are actively using their scholarships for the 2022-23 academic year. Each year the Americans pay approximately $140,000 (CAD) to for scholarships. Future scholarship commitments currently total 1.2 million (CAD).

Join us for a night of Superhero fun as we raise money for this great program.
