What an amazing ride this has been. Truly⦠thank you for letting us be a part of it.
From day one, youβve been more than just part of the programβyouβve been part of what makes this whole thing special. The time, the energy, the care youβve poured into these kidsβ¦ itβs felt by everyone. Not just in the games, not just at practiceβbut in the way the kids look up to you, the way you connect with them, and the way you lead by example.
What you bring to the table as a friend, a mentor, and a role model is something you canβt teach. Itβs real. And itβs had an impact on every levelβour kids, our coaches, our families, and myself included.
There are so many moments, so many memories, and so many little things that people donβt always seeβbut they matter. They add up. And theyβre a big part of why this community is what it is.
Weβre all better because you were part of this.
Hopefully this is just a short break to recharge, because people like you donβt get replacedβand this door is always open. Youβll always be part of Thunder Nation β‘
Nothing but love and appreciation from all of us.
