Samuel Neiterman
From Dundas, Ontario, Sam has been involved in minor hockey since 2019 - working as a timekeeper and referee with the Dundas Minor Hockey Association. He first started using GameSheet as a timekeeper and loved the ability to fix mistakes on the fly, a huge upgrade from paper game sheets. As a referee, he's continued to rely on it, appreciating how easy it makes things for scorekeepers of all experience levels.
A graduate of Dundas Valley Secondary School, Sam plans to study Business at McMaster or Guelph, or Geography and Aviation at Waterloo, this fall.
"I am very thankful to receive this year's GameSheet Scholarship, which will help me pursue my post-secondary education. As someone who has relied on GameSheet for years, I truly appreciate how it has modernized scorekeeping and statistics tracking for both me and my hockey association.” – Samuel Neiterman

Grace Smyth
From Hepworth, Ontario, Grace has been timekeeping with the Shallow Lake Minor Hockey Association since 2020. She started using GameSheet right from her first season timekeeping and found it easy to understand and follow.
A graduate of Owen Sound District Secondary School, Grace will study History at the University of Guelph this fall, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts.
"Thank you GameSheet for your generous scholarship. I truly appreciate it being such a reliable resource for timekeeping and for always being there ready to go, even on busy Saturday mornings." – Grace Smyth

Ryan Montana
From Cedar Grove, New Jersey, Ryan has been a referee since 2019, earning his AAHA Level 4 certification and officiating youth games up to the U15AAA level at Montclair State University and Clary Anderson Ice Arenas. He relies on GameSheet to make his job as a ref easier, letting him quickly enter penalties and goals and review everything before signing off.
A graduate of Cedar Grove High School, Ryan will study Software Engineering through the Computing & Engineering 3+1 Dual Degree Program at Quinnipiac University this fall.
"I sincerely thank GameSheet for awarding me this scholarship and supporting my college education. Refereeing has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my high school years, and I truly appreciate GameSheet's investment in both my passion for officiating and my future." – Ryan Montana

Davis Hamilton
From Wake Forest, North Carolina, Davis has worked with RIHOA on travel tournaments, where he first used GameSheet two years ago. He loves that game emails arrive right after the final whistle, eliminating the need to take pictures of paper score sheets.
A graduate of Enloe Magnet High School, Davis will study Kinesiology and Exercise Science at Appalachian State University this fall.
"Thank you GameSheet for helping Officials on and off the ice! These funds will significantly help me in my studies and allow me to continue my hockey officiating career during school.” – Davis Hamilton
