BOB ALLEN SCHOLARSHIP

Every year NYSAHA awards four $1000 scholarships in memory of its first President Bob Allen. Each year at the Annual Meeting of the New York State Amateur Hockey Association, the Bob Allen Scholarship is awarded to four High School or Prep School Seniors going on to college. The scholarships are awarded based on the individuals participation at school, with their community, and involvement in youth sports. Each Scholarship is for $1000 and is given directly to the winners upon verification of enrollment at college. In the year 2000, the New York State Amateur Hockey Association named their scholarship in honor of Bob Allen. Bob was president of the New York State Amateur Hockey Association for 25 years from 1954 to 1979. He was past secretary and vice president of USA Hockey (then AHAUS) and was bestowed with Director Emeritus status by both of these organizations. He was a charter member of the Lake Placid sports council and the Lake Placid Pee-Wee Hockey Association. Bob had a great passion for the sport of Ice Hockey and always “enjoyed the people in hockey as much as he enjoyed the game of hockey”. In 2004, the U.S. Women’s National Team locker room was named in honor of Bob, paying tribute to the man who spent most of his life working for hockey at the regional and national level. The locker room is located between the 1980 and U.S. rinks, and is reserved for use by the U.S. Women’s National Team, which trains in Lake Placid. In 2005, Bob was recognized for his 40 years of service to USA Hockey. Also in 2005, USA Hockey named the Women's Hockey Player of the Year award the “Bob Allen Women's Hockey Player of the Year Award”. He was chairman of the gold medal winning U.S. Women's Olympic Ice Hockey Team in 1998, and is considered the "Godfather of US Women's Ice Hockey". Bob was also member of the Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee, chairman of Ice Hockey and planning and engineering committees for the 1980 Olympics.
