Each year the New York State Amateur Hockey Association awards four $2,500 scholarships to high school or prep school seniors going on to college or trade school. The scholarships are awarded based on the individuals’ participation at school,with their community, and involvement in youth sports.

Each scholarship is for $2,500 and is given directly to the winners upon college enrollment verification.

The scholarships are named in honor of Bob Allen, who served as president of the New York State Amateur Hockey Association for 25 years, from 1954 to 1979. He was the past secretary and vice president of USA Hockey and was bestowed with Director Emeritus status by both organizations.

• Christopher Guglielmo of Smithtown from the East Section, who will be attending Penn State University
• Lindsey Malek of Clifton Park from the North Section, who will be attending Princeton University
