J. David Gouchie, Bridgetown , NS
“RBC’s Own” Local Hockey Leader
(employee contest winner)
“RBC’s Own” Local Hockey Leader, J. David Gouchie, (an employee
at XXX branch) devotes his time to making hockey accessible in his community.
David not only initiated a “Family Packages” program, which cut the
costs of youth hockey for parents in the community, but also works with local sporting
goods stores to secure hockey gear at good prices for those less fortunate. David’s
priority as president of the Bridgtown Minor Hockey Association is to make hockey
more accessible, which in turn helps hockey to grow and thrive in the community.
As fellow RBC employee Shirley Willett notes in her nomination essay, David’s
commitment and leadership keep the local association going.
“Dave not only sits on the executive, but is also out there, pounding the
pavement to keep enrollment numbers up (Bridgetown is a retirement community). He
is fund raising at every opportunity. His commitment, dedication and helpful attitude
have resulted in many new players participating in hockey. Dave does not see the
‘limitations’; -- instead his leadership and enthusiasm are contagious.”
