A homegrown product of Swan River, Cody Ellingson grew up watching the Swan Valley Stampeders and knows just how important the team is to the town and surrounding area.

As an active volunteer in his community, the Swan Valley Stampeder forward has been named the MJHL Manitoba Pork Peak Performer for February.

Ellingson, 18, understands the importance of giving back to the community as he has been active in community events such as Swan Valley Minor Hockey Day, the Tiger Fire Special Olympics Game, Swan Valley Youth Activity Evenings and is a volunteer minor hockey coach.

“Cody exemplifies the influence junior hockey players can have in their community and the positives they bring to the community,” MJHL Commissioner Kim Davis said of Ellingson. 

“Together with his community work and playing Junior 'A' hockey, he attends Swan Valley Regional Secondary School and is completing grade 12 while working around a demanding hockey schedule.”
