NB19 Assist

We are incredibly grateful for the NB 19 assist scholarship program. Our family faced difficult times last year, and without the support, we wouldn’t have been able to afford the travel club fees. NB19 Assist not only kept my son on the ice but it also gave him the opportunity to thrive within the STJ hockey family community that encourages, supports, and uplifts one another. Our hearts are full and we’re forever thankful for receiving an epic assist from Nick Backstrom and his foundation.

NB19 Assist Scholarship Program
The NB19 Assist Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to hockey players in the DMV region who aspire to develop both on and off the ice while competing within the STJ Hockey Club. This scholarship ensures that financial challenges do not stand in the way of talented and dedicated athletes pursuing their passion for the game.
Eligibility Requirements:
Open to players in the DMV region requiring financial assistance.
Applicants must plan to try out and play for an STJ Hockey Club team (Travel or House) in the 2025-2026 season
Scholarship recipients will be chosen before STJ Hockey Club Fall/Winter tryouts. If a recipient is awarded a scholarship but does not make an STJ Travel Team, the recipient’s cost of participation in the STJ House program will be covered and allocated funds beyond that will be returned to the overall NB19 fund and given out through additional scholarships.
