SABOA's Stephanie Nordlee was announced as a recent winner of the CABO's Ritchie-Nicurity Scholarship. Stephanie is currently the Vice President of SABOA and holds 3.64 GPA as a Kinesiology student at the University of Lethbridge. Last season Stephanie moved onto the ACAC list and after attending camps in both the United States and Canada this past summer she was awarded a Canada West contract to officiate at the CIS level for the upcoming season.


Stephanie was one 13 candidates vying for the six Ritchie/Nicurity Scholarships. From an academic standpoint this group was one of the highest achieving groups since the inception of the award. Two of the winners included a PhD candidate and another working on an MBA.

This is Alberta's 2nd consecutive Nicurity winner as last year's award went to Andrew Poetker.

Six $500.00 scholarships are awarded annually to student officials in an open cross-Canada competition. The scholarships were created to honour Bill Ritchie of New Brunswick and Bryan Nicurity of Saskatchewan, both of whom are past Presidents of CABO and both Ted Earley Award recipients. Both Bryan and Bill are honoured members of the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame.
