Kent Magnuson of Metro Ford Motors recently handed over the keys for a new truck to Canucks goalie Cory Schneider, who is now the Port Coquitlam car dealership's celebrity ambassador.
The NHLer joins fellow company ambassadors Canucks' centre Ryan Kesler and former coach Marc Crawford.
"We couldn't be happier," Magnuson said in a news release. "Our celebrity ambassadors sum up what we're all about here at Metro Ford: winning, leadership, youth and teamwork. All of those qualities are neatly personified in each one of our ambassadors."

ACTIVE SENIORS
