Press Release
Justin McDonald of the OCN Blizzard has been named the Manitoba Pork Peak Performer for February.
McDonald, 20, has demonstrated a tireless work ethic both on and off
the ice. The Blizzard goaltender has been a tremendous ambassador for
the organization, volunteering at various community events such as
reading to youths at local library nights, in addition to signing
autographs at school pancake breakfasts.
“Justin has been very steady throughout the year and has been a huge
part of the regular season success,” said Blizzard Head Coach Clay
DeBray. “Justin strives everyday to be the best that he can be on the
ice and especially off the ice. He comes from a great family and being
raised on a farm, he learned that hard work will make you a better
person in life and in sports.”
McDonald was raised on a farm near Turtleford, Sk., which is located
near North Battleford. A strong believer in giving back to his
community, McDonald also tutored young goaltenders in the minor hockey
system. A highlite for him this season was attending a number of events
staged at the iconic Trappers Festival in The Pas.
“Justin is a fantastic ambassador for both the Blizzard and our
league,” MJHL Commissioner Kim Davis said of McDonald’s selection.
