Winnipeg Blues captain, Brock Assailly, was recognized on Sunday night as the Blues RBC Community Ambassador.
Assailly has displayed outstanding citizenship and sportsmanship both on and off the ice and a commitment to volunteerism. RBC Community Ambassadors are recognized for making a difference by giving back to their time to the communities where they play.
It means a lot to me,” Assailly shared of being named the Blues RBC Community Ambassador. “Winnipeg has a strong hockey culture, and being able to represent the Blues and give back to the city that supports us is really important to our team.”
Like Assailly, each Ambassador is recognized at their RBC Game Night and will be honoured by a donation from RBC to a school in their local community.
“Being around the people and seeing how hockey brings everyone together in Winnipeg is my favourite part. Whether it’s helping out at events, supporting younger players, or just being involved, it’s rewarding to know that giving your time can have a positive impact in the community,” Assailly concluded.
At the conclusion of the regular season, one RBC – MJHL Community Ambassador will be named as the recipient of the RBC Community Award, which comes with a further donation from RBC in the player’s name to a school in their local community.
