Portage Terriers captain, Owen Witt, was recognized last week as the Terriers RBC Community Ambassador.
Witt 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 be named the Terriers Ambassador,” Witt explained. “Portage is a small and tight knit community so it’s important to be good examples for the kids that support us and for everyone who helps us be where we are as a program.”
Like Witt, 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.
“My favourite thing is seeing kids at the games that I saw at the schools earlier.”
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.
