With that in mind, Fountain Tire and the WHL are teaming up to honour local difference makers in all 21 Canadian cities in the league through the Fountain Tire 3 Stars Program.
That includes here in Moose Jaw, where local fitness instructor and personal trainer Brandi Kuntz was honoured with the award for the 2018-19 season at the game on Mar. 1.
Fans can nominate their local heroes for this season’s award at FountainTire3Stars.com until Nov. 30.
“We’re adding to the roster of everyday citizens who support and inspire those around them,” says Denise Gohl-Eacrett, director of brand and customer experience at Fountain Tire. “We’re asking Canadians to help us find people whose actions – big or small – make a difference in their communities.”
Fountain Tire 3 Stars was created to recognize community members for their volunteerism, humanitarianism and generosity. It is based on the tradition of awarding hockey players for their performance at the end of a game, and instead acknowledges members of the public who make an impact.
“The Western Hockey League is very proud to continue working alongside our partner Fountain Tire to recognize outstanding citizens who give back to their community,” said WHL commissioner Ron Robison. “Throughout Western Canada, WHL arenas represent a gathering place for the community and we look forward to hearing stories of the remarkable people who will be nominated for the Fountain Tire 3 Stars.”
Three winners will be selected from each participating WHL city, on the basis of nominees giving back to their community in a meaningful way. Winners will receive a WHL 3 Star Experience, including four hockey tickets, a $250 Fountain Tire gift certificate and a $200 gift certificate for the local team store. They will also be recognized during a ceremony at a local game later in the season.
