Sponsorship of minor soccer, hockey, and baseball at a number of age levels has been part of Rod’s approach to supporting his community for over two decades. He is a twenty-year veteran of service to the Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede organization and is a constant source of assistance to groups holding special events and tournaments.
Rod Carry’s efforts in developing competitive hockey in Medicine Hat are perhaps best known. His Joyline Blades intermediate team of the early sixties became the Medicine Hat Senior Monarchs, bringing five years of exciting Western Hockey League play to the City. Then, in 1971, Rod was the driving force behind the re-establishment of Junior A hockey in Medicine Hat after an absence of nearly twenty years. His Tigers became the town’s number one sports attraction and have become a local institution.
Rod Carry is one of the most respected sports men in our city.
