A Heartfelt THANK YOU TO ALL from Coach Mike
I would like to thank the following people for making my coaching experience this year extra special....

First I would like to thank our manager Paul . Without his expertise we wouldn’t have been so well organized. His ability’s go beyond that, also ensuring that we had lodging for tournaments and keeping referees notified of games and many other duties that I asked him to do for us. Victoria thank you for keeping our budget intact. You have guided me through the year expressing the importance of planning for the year end. Your ability to predict what we may need at years end has been very precise. Our social committee, and fund raisers have done many great things for our team. Dinners, yard sale, bottle drive and snow removal. The special events for team building and everything else you did for us has been incredible. To our trainers, this is one of the toughest jobs to have ! You have been in charge of strengthening and off ice conditioning. You have had to mend and mentor these young players and We truly appreciate your Efforts for the team. Thanks Sherry and Crystal. You have made my coaching job one of the best experiences I have had. Dressing Room Moms. Thanks for monitoring the team and making sure they were ready for practices and game time speeches. I hope I didn’t put you to sleep through some of them. Lol. To Jessica Dodd’s thank you for giving our goalies confidence and working on some areas we discussed that they needed improvement. Your ability to create a calming atmosphere while demanding hard work is a unique talent.  Also thanks to Nathan Craze for the video analysis and your specific approach to our goalies needs. Rob Drummond thanks for helping mould the team we have today. You are a true professional and your attention to detail is an asset. We discussed a game plan early and you worked it perfectly. Coaches Bryon,Travis,Jeff and Scott. You guys have helped push this team to a lot of great things this year. Without your dedication to our vision for this team we wouldn’t have done so well. The intensity and desire to do what is best to help them all develop has been there since the first day we stepped on the ice. Your skill sets both offensively and defensively have made my job easier. You have all created a perfect atmosphere while sticking to my ideas of what the season should look like. I Know that you all have had the same goal as I had this year. Teach them respect and creativity while demanding hard work and team play.  Thanks. To our parents. At the start of the season I asked for patience while I did some different things. You supported my staff and I through this. You have been an awesome group to be around and the morals and attributes these young players have is because of caring parents like yourselves. Lastly to our players. I have coached a lot of different teams over my years but never have I been involved with a group like this. You all have stuck together though the ups and downs we have gone through. I asked for respect and I have been demanding at times. You have all been polite and very respectful. I know you all will do great things , not just in sports but in life, if you keep the attitudes you had all season. To our leaders. I told you that your responsibility to the team would be challenging. You three have stepped up when I asked you to. Your job is even tougher now as our second season starts. Players I hope you have had some fun , learned about what it takes to be a team player and how to elevate your own game when a teammate may be struggling. We have some hard work ahead of us and I know you will accept the challenge. Thanks for a great season !
