THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Thank you to all of the Pirate Fans and sponsors that made this season a tremendous success.  We hope you enjoyed the ride as much as we did.  To all the volunteers.  Hats off to all of you, you are all great friends.   To the coaches and the players what a great ride.  The character and pride that you all showed will never be forgotten.  We will all have great memories for years to come.  To each and every 20 year old Mike, Nick, AAron, Ruby and Cody if you ever need anything we are just a call away you guys are great.    Four years ago a young player came to camp and wanted nothing more than to play JR hockey for his home town.   From that wonderfull goal four yrs ago you scored on a breakaway against Thorold to the last one against the Falls we will never forget watching you grow into the player, leader and young man that you have become.  It was truly a priviledge to have had you in our organization,  the dressing  rooms of the West Side Arena will never be the same without you.  I know that you have lead by example and taught the younger players to take your place for next year.    Good luck Dillon we enjoyed every minute.
