Just wanted to congratulate all the girls and guys involved in the first home bout. What a testimony to all the hard work you have done. To the captains, coaches,bench managers and skaters BRAVO. Your never say die spirit made the bout exciting to the last jam. To the refs, fantastic job - the game was fluid with few gaps. I know the team appreciates the keepers of the score and penalties, but unless you make a concerted effort to watch the beehive of activity in the center, people would not realize the chain of events that help keep the records and track the vital stats, nice job, all. And then there are the rest of the girls making it possible to pack the venue, sell the merch and do other behind the scene things that keep the sport alive. To witness the comraderie, team spirit and close bonds that are forming is perhaps the biggest testiment to the truly awe inspiring force of nature that is going to be HUGE in Rochester. Go RCRD.
