Hi Jeff,

We hope you are have a magnificent fall in New England.  The months of rain have made the colors here in MN spectacular.

I want to share with you, some of the effects that a concentrated, extended summer with you has had on the boys.  Both made the top teams in their new Association here in MN. Brand new club, 3 or 4 evaluators st each level.  None had ever seen the boys before.  This is a very tight community celebrating 65 years of hockey this year.  Reilly made Bantam AA as a 1st year.  MN goes by school grade not birth year.  He’d be a second year bantam in MA.  So making AA 1st try, is awesome.  This is a good club in a tough district.  Likewise, Hunzeker made AA squirt.  Tons of kids trying out.  The tryout process here spanned nearly 3 weeks with each kid skating 6 – 8 separate days including a formal referees scrimmage against another club.  Thanks so much for all the training, confidence, and joy you’ve given them over the years and especially these past months.

All the best,

Dave
