Mr. Maset--

Ice Hockey Seniors,

Congratulations on a terrific season and career! Whether you were a four year player or a first timer, it was an absolute pleasure coaching you and thank you for giving your best. I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am of all of you. Together, we have done some great things-- a 59-19-2 record, 4 Summit Cups, and the first-ever MUGIHL Championship-- but what I think i'll remember most is how much fun I had doing it and I hope you did too. Know that Kent Place Ice Hockey will always be your home and you are always welcome! Remember to do what Teddy would do and never forget the role fertilizer actually plays. Best of luck next year and you better come back and visit.
