Apply: George F. Dufton U18 AAA Scholarship Award

The George F. Dufton U18 ‘AAA’ Scholarship Award recognizes a U18 ‘AAA’ player who achieves a high standard of excellence academically and in hockey. The award is a one-time post-secondary educational scholarship of $2,000 provided by the Don Mills Flyers Hockey Club.

George F. Dufton was an outstanding student and athlete in his youth, and won a university scholarship but his family did not have the additional funds for him to attend. George worked in a tannery during the Great Depression of the 1930s and never had the opportunity to attend university.

Dufton later founded the Don Mills Flyers in 1968. This scholarship was established in his honour in 1993, four years after he passed away at age 77.

Eligibility: Any registered U18 ‘AAA’ player in the 2025-26 season from the GTHL can apply and/or be nominated.
