Second season of WHL/OHL collaboration honours citizens who go above and beyond

Fountain Tire has once again teamed up with the Prince Albert Raiders to honour local difference makers.

Fountain Tire 3 Stars is a collaboration with the Western Hockey League (WHL) and Ontario Hockey League (OHL) that recognizes ‘stars’ in 21 Canadian cities who go above and beyond to make their community a better place. Prince Albertans can nominate their local heroes until November 30, 2019.

“We’re adding to the roster of everyday citizens who support and inspire those around them,” says Denise Gohl-Eacrett, Director, 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. In hockey, stars of each game are awarded for their outstanding performance on the ice. The Fountain Tire 3 Stars program provides an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate members of the community who make an impact.

Last year, Fountain Tire celebrated a broad range of difference makers including teachers, firefighters, fundraisers, hockey parents and even a city bus driver.

Among them were billet parent and dedicated community volunteer Carole Ring; Mickey Macgillivary, Director of Hope’s Home, a medical daycare that serves medically fragile children and their families; and, Morley Harrison, an enthusiastic volunteer with many Prince Albert organizations, including Rotary, youth sports, drama and the Historical Society.

This fall, members of the public are invited to nominate their community stars at FountainTire3Stars.com.

“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,” comments 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 and OHL city*, on the basis of nominees giving back to their community in a meaningful way.

Prince Albert 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 Prince Albert Raiders team store. They will also be recognized during an in-game ceremony at a local game later in the season.

“The Fountain Tire philosophy is ‘We’re on this road together,’ a sentiment that drives our actions and customer interactions each day,” says Gohl-Eacrett. “From our head-office in Edmonton to our locally-owned stores, we believe it is important to support local communities. We bring this to life through our sponsorships of the WHL and OHL, and by supporting the local heroes that help our communities thrive.”
