On behalf of Bill, James, Ken, Sarah and Tim, I wanted to say a “final thanks”
to everyone for our 2019/2020 season. While no one could have predicted the "abrupt end" to this season, we wanted everyone to know how much we appreciated all the ladies efforts and hard work throughout the season and have told everyone how much we enjoyed being a part of their last seven plus months. You have a great bunch of daughters and we feel very fortunate and privileged to have had the opportunity to coach them this season.
Many thanks to Ken for his scheduling efforts, stats tracking and dealings with the OWHA. It is not as simple as it seems and we all sincerely appreciated the time put in behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly throughout the season.
Was this a perfect season of hockey – not at all. Were there challenges – yes there were. Did we always agree – absolutely not, and that’s what makes each season unique for players, parents and coaching staff. While we wished the level of play would have been a little more consistent, playing with a full roster was simply not in the cards this season. We understand and appreciated the difficulty in trying to get some of the “chemistry” and “flow” going but hope that you did see the growth and development in your daughters, individually and as part of a team, which we did. We hope they will all continue to make good “Choices and Options” in the years to come. We believe that the ability to do so is an important quality and hope it stays with all the ladies for the rest of their lives. As we all know, there’s going to be a life after hockey that’s a lot longer than their hockey life.
We are sincerely proud of all your efforts and accomplishments this season. It has been a real pleasure.
