15 years ago when I began my journey, I had two goals in mind. First was to impact inspiring players with the passion and knowledge of the game giving life long lessons both on and off the hockey rink. Through my commitment to the game, I believe that my passion and knowledge has been absorbed by many and will be put to good use for years to come.
My second goal was a much broader view in that I wanted to assist with the overall growth and development of the sport on various platforms. Through my involvement and support for USA Hockey Inline, I was able to learn from and assist others on a national level. Through Coastal Cup Southeast Hockey Series, I was able to interact with many on a regional level and it was Central Carolina Hockey that gave me the avenue at the local level.
In October 2008, I took over Central Carolina Hockey with hopes to carry on a vision that was formed on a solid foundation giving the necessary structure that would allow for continued growth. Regrettably, the changing business dynamics at the local and national level will bring Central Carolina Hockey to a close. As of June 30th 2010, Central Carolina Hockey will no longer be able to offer inline hockey programs.
On so many levels, it was only because of the strong support you gave in sharing this vision that has made it possible to have such a wonderful experience for the past 15 years and for that, my most sincere THANK YOU goes out to all of you. After all these years, I can still remember my first learn to play class, first coach, first goal etc…. I say this knowing that a lasting memory has been shared that ties us together for life.
So I say once again…THANK YOU for making the last 15 years such a wonderful journey.
