BMHA’s John Jangula named 2017 SHA outstanding volunteer
John Jangula said he was ‘flabbergasted’ on Saturday night when he found out he was the 2017 recipient of a Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) outstanding volunteer award for his work with the Battlefords Minor Hockey Association (BMHA.)
“I honestly didn’t think I was worthy of that,” Jangula said over the phone on Tuesday. “I was totally humbled by it and am really honoured. I really thank the association here for forwarding my nomination and the SHA for approving it.”
Jangula has been involved with the BMHA for 12 years, serving as the SHA communications director for 10 of those years, and then serving as treasurer for the last two.
He helped dedicate his time long after his kids moved on from minor hockey.
