Final Thoughts
It was great to see everyone today at the awards banquet. the last 3 weeks have felt like 3 months. Congratulations to Callum More for Most Improved Player Award. Although there were many candidates for this award, the coaching staff believed his ability to control the game from the blueline was a huge part of our team's success in the second half and the playoffs. Congratulations also to Aron Barnett for winning Most Sportsman-like. Aron was always positive and smiling on and off the ice regardless of the score, and never complained when he was asked to play another position.

The Most Dedicated Player award was shared between  Bryden Parliament and Travis Yake. They were very similar in many ways, Bryden was both the goal scoring leader (by 21 goals!) and the points leader, Travis was second in goals, first in assists and second in points. They had only 12 penalty minutes combined. They both played in every game and Travis never missed a practice or a skills session (even I missed practice once). Congratulations to both players on a great season.
I would like to thank the other members of the coaching staff, Rob Totton, Mike Parliament and Conner Birchard for all their help on the bench and during practices and Sonya for coordinating our tournaments, the Petes/Gens game, sending emails and being my coach and motivator at times. It was a great year and thanks for helping out. Special thanks as well to Jamie More and Zack Beattie for helping with the last few practices when I was unable to be on the ice. I really appreciate your efforts.
I would like to thank all the parents, grand parents and siblings of all the players for their support throughout the year. I know the kids appreciate having someone to cheer them on.
I would like to wish good luck to Farmer, Callum and Cole in Peewee next season.
Thanks again for the great season, have a fun and safe summer, and I hope to see you all at the arena next year.
