Game on! Students, faculty and staff at Nipissing University are taking their hockey sticks to the asphalt for some road hockey action, as well as a charity BBQ and a chance to win fantastic prizes in the first ever Shamrock Cup, Tuesday, April 10, from noon to 2 p.m.
There’s still opportunity to get your team registered for the Shamrock Cup; team registration has been extended to April 9.  To enter a team, please contact one of the organizers:Dr. Mark Bruner,Laura McKenzie, orJennifer Buell.

All proceeds from the Shamrock Cup support the Paul Nelson Scholarship Fund. 
Paul Nelson was a hard working and well-respected student in Nipissing’s BPHE program, who volunteered with his local fire department. Paul died in 2012 in a tragic accident while responding to a fire call. To honour his memory, Nelson’s friends and Nipissing BPHE faculty created a scholarship in his name and are raising funds each year by virtue of an annual student-vs-faculty hockey game, and this new road hockey tournament.
You can support the Paul Nelson Scholarship without having to play road hockey, too.  Anyone who would like tomake a donation can do so online, right here.
