Georgetown Raiders alternate captain Richard Court (pictured receiving the 2014 OJHL Scholastic Player of the Year Award - photo credit: Tim Bates/OJHL Images) has been named the recipient of the 2014 RBC National Junior 'A' Scholarship.

Richard Court of the OJHL’s Georgetown Raiders was on hand in Vernon to receive the RBC National Junior A Scholarship. Court was chosen from 10 finalists – one from each of the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s member leagues – to receive the $5,000 scholarship. A two-year member of the Raiders, Court more than tripled his offensive output in the Ontario Junior Hockey League this season, but his off-ice exploits were just as impressive. The Burlington, Ont., native will graduate from Appleby College next month with a 93 per cent average, setting himself up to continue his academic and hockey careers at a CIS or NCAA school. Court was also active in the community; among his many charitable efforts, he volunteered with Big Brothers and helped organize a bowling fundraiser for the organization that raised more than $5,400.
