Dauphin Kings forward, Rylan Gage, was recognized on Tuesday night as the Kings RBC Community Ambassador.
Gage 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 and giving back to their communities where they play.
“It means a lot to me to be named Kings community ambassador, it’s a huge honour,” Gage explained. “It’s so important to give back to the community because it’s the best way to show our support and give back to those who support us on and off the ice.”
Like Gage, 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. Gage will make his donation to Ecole MacNeill Elementary school in Dauphin.
“My favourite thing is going to schools in the area to hang around with the kids who come to our games and give us their full support,” Gage 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.
