WEST KELOWNA- Fourteen players have been selected by the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) to receive $500 bursaries.
The recipients earned their bursaries based on academic achievement, sportsmanship, hockey participation and or quality of contribution as well as community participation and service.
The league is announcing the winners over the month of June by division, beginning with the Bill Ohlhausen Division in the Okanagan Shuswap Conference.
Myles Mattila - co-captain of the Kelowna Chiefs:
The Prince George Secondary School grad of 2017 made Kelowna his home while playing for the Chiefs for three seasons. Mattila has many great memories from his junior career, but says he’s thankful for the support from late Chiefs owner Grant Sheridan, and team president Jason Tansem with his mental health initiatives. Mattila founded MindRight for Athletes Society.
“The Kelowna Chiefs were the first team in the KIJHL to support the MindRight initiative and glad that other teams are on board as well,” he says.
Mattila says the KIJHL does a great job developing hockey players and excelling them to the higher levels. He’s thankful for what he gained in a different perspective.
“I am personally very thankful to build my communication and leadership skills that will benefit me in the business community,” says Mattila, who completed his third year of a bachelor's degree in Business Administration at Okanagan College with a diploma in marketing.
Mattila is pursuing a masters in business administration. His career aspirations include finding an organization to work with around community involvement as he loves interacting with the community and networking with new individuals to make a difference. He dedicated time to Ride Don’t Hide to raise awareness about mental health in Kelowna, has spoken at schools and various KIJHL communities.
It’s his goal to continue working on mental health initiatives and supporting the Grant Sheridan Scholarship.
