Poste : Assistant Store Manager

Valeur fondamentale : Proudly Serve Our Communities

Rodney serves his community by volunteering as a coach for hockey and baseball and being involved in curling. But his dedication goes deeper than just showing up for games. On his hockey team last winter there was one young player who didn’t have family coming to watch him at the rink. The boy’s father worked out west and his mom, with two other children, was struggling to get him to practices. « I started driving him to every practice, every game, tied his skates, helped him get his gear on, » says Rodney. « At tournaments he would be with my family and we’d give him snacks and lunch. The young fella really appreciated it and that’s all that matters. » It makes Rodney proud that he is looked upon as a role model. « When you see the kids you coach somewhere outside of the sport and they are happy to see you and come running over to say hello and to give you a high five, it makes you feel good. »
