For most on Team Storm, this was their first out of town tournament. Their experience was a tremendous success and
a shining example on showcasing their skills and outstanding conduct as young
men.
From the opening faceoff, they skated with blazing speed and passion. As the game and tournament progressed they continued on an amazing journey: combining skill, passion, team work and an impeccable dedication to sportsmanship (Seen by ourselves, and duly praised by others). Skills learned in practice were abundantly on display for parents and spectators alike. They did/do not engage in the aggressive tactics so often used by others- preferring instead to win or lose on their skill alone.
As a coach and mentor, I do nothing but swell with pride on how well these young men play the game the way it is supposed to be played.
For 48 hours myself, our coaching staff and parents received the gift of watching enthusiasm and sportsmanship at its purest.
Thank you boys!
I will never forget it.
On behalf of the coaching staff and parents, you are our champions of what is right in sports.
Sincerely
Coach Ken
