Our season was not quite over. The team met at a local restaurant to have a little social gathering and to hand out some awards.
These awards did not have anything to do with the awards given out the following Wednesday.
Jim (Jimbo) Ganser and Doug (Tubby) Stuckky presented trophies to each member of the team and said a little bit about how the player maybe didn’t achieve all their goals but helped to attain the team’s overall objectives.
The team presented a few gifts to the management at this meeting for their time and help over the season.
The next night at the Minor Hockey supper the team met together for one last time this season.
Three awards were given out including Most Dedicated which went to McMann; Most Improved was goalie Stahl; and Rehman for Most Sportsmanlike.
All throughout the year we have had fun times and not so fun times, but I still hope to enjoy another season with you all next year at the Bantam level..
