A sincere "Thank-You" in the final "News Article" for the 2014 - 2015 Kitchener Lady Rangers Bantam "A" hockey season!
Bill, Sarah, Tim and I wanted to say a final thanks to everyone for our 2014/2015 season. We appreciated all the ladies efforts and hard work throughout the season and enjoyed being a part of their last seven months. You all have a great bunch of daughters and we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach them this season.
We would also like to thank Angela, Karen and Val for all their dressing room, pre-game and bench time with the ladies. We could not have had the season we did without all of you. This certainly extends to Dave as well. From the hotels, lunches, dinners and team bonding activities, we all sincerely appreciated the time you put in to make this a great "team" experience for all.
And from a coaching perspective, thanks to Dave and Steve who were fixtures on our practice ice. The ability to give the goalies some time for their specific development as well as the movement of pucks made practices that much better for all. I was sincere in the comments after the Etobicoke loss in the "it takes a village to raise a child". Bill, Sarah, Tim and I appreciated all of your help with our 2014 / 2015 "village".
For those ladies who have been with us the past two seasons, thank you for all you efforts. The difference between seasons was palpable. We are glad you hung in and were rewarded! For everyone else who is moving on, it was a real pleasure to have you with us this season. Your contributions made it possible to complete the “seventeen” pieces (you too Katie!) of our team puzzle and have the success that we did. And for those returning next season, yes, there is still work to be done :)
Thanks again to everyone and best of luck to all the ladies in the upcoming tryouts!!
