Winkler Flyers forward, Jayce Legaarden, was recognized on Sunday night as the Flyers RBC Community Ambassador.
Legaarden 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 the community ambassador, giving back to the community is something I take pride in,” shared Legaarden. When I was growing up there was always older players around giving back, and I feel it’s important for young kids to have that experience.”
Like Legaarden, 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. Jayce will be making his donation to Parkland Elementary School in Winkler where he has spent the most of his time volunteering.
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.
