MNP MVT PROGRAM RETURNING
Brandon, MB. – The Brandon Wheat Kings, in association with MNP are pleased to announce the return of the MNP “Most Valuable Team” (MVT) Program for the 2014-15 Western Hockey League season.
The initiative, introduced by MNP three years ago, supports youth involved in amateur athletics and recognizes the volunteer efforts of their coaches. Under terms of this program, twenty-five seats for every Wherat Kings’ Saturday night home game will be awarded to western Manitoba sports teams and organizations.
“A lot of these kids look up to the Wheat Kings and we are excited to again give them a chance to see their favourite team in action,” says Dan Trotter, a Partner in MNP’s Brandon office. “Our firm has always been committed to Brandon and the surrounding communities, and this program is a great opportunity for us to support these teams and promote the importance of physical activity.”
The MNP MVT program is open to western Manitoba athletes ages eight to seventeen and their coaches or assistant coaches. Youth teams from any sport can apply, from minor hockey to swimming and high school sports.
Applications to attend Wheat Kings’ Saturday night home games this season, beginning with the October 4th game against the visiting Red Deer Rebels, are now being accepted. Coaches, managers or other team officials can enter their team online at www.wheatkings.com.
In addition to the tickets, all winning teams will receive complimentary copies of the Wheat Kings 2014-15 Souvenir Program. As well, each week the winning team will be introduced during the game on the Video Scoreboard at Westman Communications Group Place.
