EDMONTON, Alberta, May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Papa Johns Canada and the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) are proud to announce Griffin Seafoot of British Columbia as the recipient of the Champions of Tomorrow Scholarship.

The Champions of Tomorrow Scholarship was created to recognize young Canadians who demonstrate outstanding leadership, character, and a drive to excel both on and off the ice. The program awards $25,000 to a youth hockey player making a lasting difference through sport, academics, and service.

Selected from nominations submitted across Canada, Griffin stood out for combining excellence in hockey and academics with a genuine commitment to helping others.

A goaltender from Kamloops, Griffin has earned praise for his leadership, determination, and strong character. He maintains an A average while mentoring younger players and supporting local minor hockey programs. At just 12 years old, he launched a school food drive that has since grown into a district-wide initiative, collecting more than 10,000 pounds of food over the past four years.

Griffin was also recently accepted into Shad Canada, one of the country’s leading youth leadership and STEM programs, where he will attend this summer at St. Francis Xavier University. Looking ahead, Griffin hopes to study engineering at the University of Waterloo.
