It was with the deepest sorrow that the Falcons Hockey Association announced the sudden passing of Falcons Girls 16U player, Gina Bronge, on July 24, 2007. The entire hockey community was saddened and shocked by this news.
Gina's strong work ethic, determination, leadership, energetic style of play, and constant smile will be missed by all of us. Gina was one of the original girls who skated with the Falcons during the 2003-04 season - the inaugural season for the Falcons Girls Hockey program. Anchoring the team's defense, Gina skated on two State Championship Blackhawk Cup teams with the Falcons in 2006, and again in 2007.
The Gina Bronge Memorial/Scholarship Fund is a fund that will award a scholarship on a yearly basis to a female hockey player who exemplifies characteristics similar to how Gina played this great sport. It is the intent of the Bronge family for the award recipient to use the scholarship money to pay for hockey camps or offset hockey fees.
The mission of the Gina Bronge Memorial Fund is to award one or more yearly scholarships to female Falcons Hockey players demonstrating Gina's similar style of play, leadership, love of the game, courage and determination. The scholarship can be used to pay for hockey camps or to offset season fees. Click below to download the application.
