“Community Champions” is a brand new video series on paNOW and features local people who make their communities a better place.

Tanner Svenson, 23, is more than a champion, he’s also a role model and local celebrity. In addition to his roles as an announcer/ music guru/ score keeper at local hockey games, he’s won a number of awards with Special Olympics and is active in a number of sports including ball hockey, bocce ball and bowling.

paNOW‘s Nigel Maxwell caught up with the Svenson at the 25th annual Foxes tournament.
