All parents were praising the hard work, care and effort coaches have been making to help develop the youngsters' ice hockey skills and characters.  Surely the lasting memories of being part of the team will serve as a foundation to building character andguide these youngsters over the coming years.  Thanks coaches for all you do for the kids.
