We are honoured, humbled and pleased to announce the annual Markus Lavallee CFR Chemicals Memorial Scholarship. It will be awarded to the Bison player that is deemed to have consistently exhibited the qualities that made Markus such a special, loved and respected person.

Markus would be proud to know that this scholarship will be awarded to the teammate who most exemplifies dedication to his family, team, community and personal development. In so doing we will continue to remember Markus for his kindness, caring, compassion and positive energy for a game he dearly loved.

This dedicated teammate will also model work ethic, enthusiasm and determination in striving to achieve both personal and team goals. In so doing they will inspire and encourage others to want to better themselves. Like Markus, this teammate will also model respect and support for others, including opposing players, coaches, fans and game officials. In leading by example, this player will always choose to do the right thing, especially when others are not looking. Playing like Markus means playing with heart and never giving up on your teammates or yourself.

As we continue to move forward into this hockey season and beyond we want players to aspire to be the best they can be as true leaders both on and off the ice.

If you meet these criteria we would be honoured to award you the $2500 Markus Lavallee CFR Chemicals Memorial Scholarship.
