Waywayseecappo Wolverines defenseman, Adam Chipelski, was recognized last week as the Wolverines RBC Community Ambassador.
Chipelski 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’s an honour to be named the Wolverines Community Ambassador,” Chipelski shared. “As Wolverines we get so much support and love from our community so it’s very important to me and the team to be able to give back to our fans, support community and be good role models for the young kids who look up to us.”
Like Chipelski, each Ambassador is recognized at their RBC Game Night and will be honoured by a donation from RBC to a school or program in their local community.
“The best part about giving back is being able to put smiles on local’s faces, and seeing everyone come together like one big family for community events like parades, Christmas dinners, historical days or whatever it may be. It really makes the team feel like we have a strong community behind us, that’s what makes it so rewarding and important to give back.”
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.
