Press Release
Jeff Archibald of the Dauphin Kings is hands-on when it comes to
making a difference in his community. And it’s that quality which earned
the veteran forward the Manitoba Pork Peak Performer of the Month for
October.
Two nights per week Archibald spends quality time with Jonathan
Foster, the special needs trainer for the Kings. As a result of this
one-on-one bonding, both have become good companions.
“Jeff’s contributions don’t stop at the rink,” Kings’ GM/Head Coach
Marlin Murray says of Archibald. “During the month Jeff played road
hockey on several occasions with local school children, as well as
teaching hockey skills with the Timbits minor hockey program.”
Archibald, a Kings’ assistant captain, is having a good season thus
far, reflected in 12 points (5-7) after 12 games. He and his King
teammates also recently put smiles on the faces of many a youngster in
Dauphin.
“Jeff and some of his teammates dressed up and passed out candy to local children on behalf of the hockey club,” said Murray.
The MJHL and Manitoba Pork are proud of the contribution Jeff Archibald has made to his community.
September
Even though he is new to the Town of Virden, Grade 11 student Ty
Edmonds has made a huge community contribution. 16 year old goaltender,
Ty Edmonds of the Virden Oil Capitals has been named the Manitoba Pork
Peak Performer of the Month for September.
For two full weeks in September Ty has worked on the ice with
goaltenders in the Virden Minor Hockey School. He did all of this
community work while preparing for several Manitoba Junior Hockey League
games and all the while moving from Winnipeg to a new town and new high
school.
The MJHL and Manitoba Pork are proud of the contribution Ty Edmonds has made to his community.
