Last season, Hurtubise was one of Eight (8) bursary recipients of $6,000 each
Cambridge, ON – Hurtubise is one of many former players that have traded in their hockey sweater for an officials jersey. After a solid playing career, that included being drafted to the OHL, as well as playing in the GOJHL and PJHL, he wasn’t quite done with the game yet. He began officiating at 16 years of age to earn some spending money. Fast forward a decade later and Hurtubise has become an outstanding official. Working not only in the OHA, but in the OHL as well.

Off the ice, Hurtubise is crushing it as well! The Masters of Physical Therapy student at Western University has a 3.9GPA. When he graduates in the fall, he plans on being a physical therapist back in his hometown of Sarnia.
Winning the bursary has had a massive positive impact on his life. “The bursary alleviated some of the financial burden that comes with pursuing a post secondary education and allowed me to focus on my studies and career,” he said. “All I need to do is work hard and focus on my studies.”
