A St. Albert ringette player has been awarded a $500 scholarship from In-Dey-Go Fundraising.
Tianna Miller, a netminder for the U19 belle B St. Albert Rage, was acknowledged for her skill and commitment in the sport.
“I’m thrilled,” she said. “Thank you In-Dey-Go for this scholarship.”
Miller, 16, started playing ringette in St. Albert at age eight as a defenceman for the novice Wolfpack. After three seasons she switched to net full time.
Miller spent last season with the U16 junior A Stride.
Monday at the Turkey Ring tournament, the Grade 11 St. Albert Catholic High School student stopped 35 shots in shutting out the St. Albert Surge in the gold-medal game.
The scholarship was offered in the wake of the 2014 Alberta Winter Games in Banff and Canmore. In-Dey-Go Fundraising is based in Canmore and has been in business for 18 years assisting teams across Canada achieve financial success.
The owner is Lisa Downing, a former Canadian Freestyle Ski Team member.
