Lengthy-time Summerside skate sharpener and group volunteer Blaine (Alfie) Gallant has been named the 2022 Frances O. Perry Good Neighbour of the 12 months.
Gallant might be introduced with the award on April 1 in honour of his 25-year profession on the former Summerside Recreation Centre and now Credit score Union Place.
The Borden, P.E.I. native has worn many hats in and across the rinks over time, together with volunteering for greater than 10 years as coach with the Western Capitals, and sponsoring the Alfie Cup spring ladies’ youth hockey match.
