OPRF HUSKIES HOCKEY CLUB SCHOLARSHIP
Since 2002, the OPRF Hockey Club has honored the memory of Huskies Kevin Bolin and John Cooper through the Bolin-Cooper Scholarship, supporting senior players in their post-high school education. Over 20 years, more than 30 players received scholarships totaling over $200,000.
The 2021-22 season marked the final year of the Bolin-Cooper Scholarship, but its legacy lives on. The remaining funds were gifted to the club, serving as the foundation for the OPRF Huskies Hockey Club Scholarship.
Sustained through club fundraising and generous Alumni donations, this scholarship continues the tradition of recognizing outstanding seniors who have played at least two years with the club. Scholarship applicants are evaluated based on their commitment to academics, to our community, the club and to their teammates.
BOLIN-COOPER SCHOLARSHIP (2002-2022)
The OPRF Hockey Club was honored to be associated with the Kevin Bolin/John Cooper Scholarship Fund.
The Bolin-Cooper Scholarship honored the memory of Kevin Bolin, who passed away in 2001 on his way to a hockey tournament. Kevin was a goalie on the OPRF Hockey Club's JV team from 1999 to 2001.
The scholarship also honored the memory of John Cooper, the starting goalie for the 1975 OPRF State Championship team who passed away in 1976 under similar circumstances.
The scholarship provided graduating Huskie Hockey Seniors, who played for at least two seasons, with $3,000/year for post high school education. The funds were used to assist with tuition, room and board, books or fees for post high school education. Applicants must demonstrate positive qualities/values that have been an asset to the hockey team and possess leadership skills and team commitment.
