An RCMP officer in Drumheller is using his sports talent to contribute to the community and build relationships.
Constable Cole McBride is a general duty officer working out of the Drumheller detachment office. He brings with him his love of hockey and experience coaching.
“I used to coach AA Midget back in Cobourg, Ontario before moving to Alberta. Since joining the RCMP and being posted in Drumheller, I am now on my third year of coaching minor hockey in this town and I absolutely love it,” said McBride.
He is now the head coach of the Drumheller U9 Drumheller Glover Raptors as well as an assistant coach with the U7 team.
“Both of my sons play and share the same passion that I have for the game today. I love that I get the opportunity to bring and meet new people to the sport, making them feel welcome on and off the ice. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to share my passion for hockey with others in the community,” said McBride.
Staff Sergeant Robert Harms appreciates officers getting involved in the community.
“This is another example of our officers contributing and being part of the communities which we serve; it's great to see Cst. McBride sharing his love and skills of the sport with the youth in the Drumheller area,” said Harms.
