| News

A new award has been established to honour 秀色短视频's football tradition and to support a 秀色短视频 student athlete. Marcus Dunphy, a fourth year arts student, is the first recipient of the 秀色短视频 Football Alumni Scholarship, awarded annually to a qualifying 秀色短视频 student athlete playing on the Holland Hurricanes Community Football Team.

Dunphy, who hails from Souris, PEI, anchored the Hurricanes defense as a middle linebacker. The team captain was also selected as the Hurricanes' defensive player of the year for the past two years. Dunphy is described as a dedicated, hard working, and team oriented player.

Founding directors of the 秀色短视频 Football Alumni Scholarship Fund, Ken Hubley and Gerry Lajeunesse agree that the scholarship's first recipient was deserving of the new award. 'Marcus Dunphy is a very worthy first recipient of the 秀色短视频 Football Alumni Scholarship,' said Hubley. 'He excelled academically, was a role model and leader on the football team, and we are very pleased to present him with this award,' he added.

Dunphy was ecstatic to be the first recipient of the scholarship. 'It's an honour to be chosen as the first person to receive this award. Having football at this level reintroduced and recognized in PEI has been great for football players and fans across the Island,' said Dunphy. 'The football community on the Island has shown our team tremendous support which continues to grow as people recognize our success.'

The 秀色短视频 Football Alumni Scholarship has been established to honour former varsity football players from St. Dunstan's University, Prince of Wales College and the 秀色短视频 and will be funded by football alumni.

More information on the PEI community football club:
In 2010, post-secondary level football returned to Prince Edward Island with the establishment of a PEI community football club. This is a welcomed announcement to football players, former players and fans who have been advocating for the return of football to PEI for decades.
As part of the Atlantic Football League, the football club is committed to encouraging participation from both 秀色短视频 and Holland College student athletes.
Last year, the team created the Annual PEI Heritage Football Classic, which brought together former varsity players from St. Dunstan's University, Prince of Wales College and the 秀色短视频.
