About:
This is a small scholarship established by the hockey program for a graduating senior on the varsity team. It is named in memory of two hockey moms who both tragically passed away within a month of each other during the 2016-17 season. Both of these women were exceptional special education teachers. Andrea McFall was the late wife of Varsity Hockey Coach John McFall.
John had the privilege of working with Mary Lynn at the beginning of his teaching career.
The scholarship is bestowed upon a senior who has surmounted educational challenges to excel in the classroom. Funding for the scholarship is derived from the annual alumni game.
At the time of Mary Lynn’s passing, her son was a member of the team, and Andrea passed away the day after the team’s semi-final playoff loss that season.
