Virden Oil Capitals forward, Carson Wright, was recognized on Friday night as the Oil Capitals RBC Community Ambassador.
Wright 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,” Wright shared. “It’s an honour to represent the team and help strengthen the connection between the Oil Capitals and our community. Coming from a big city in Alberta, I really appreciate the close community feel in Virden. The community supports our team so well and I want to give back and be part of that.”
Like Wright, 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. Wright will be making his donation to Virden Junior High School.
“They support our team very well, we run our dryland out of the gym there. I also have billet brothers that are attending the school and I think them and the staff would benefit well from the donation,” Wright 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.
