Senior Recognition Hockey Banquet & Award Winners
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

So very sorry that Mrs Freddie and I were not able to attend tonight. I'm not at all surprised that Willy handled himself with dignity, class and passion.
Du hockey comme dans le temps!

His speech was absolutely amazing. Talk about taking the "high road" in an personally difficult situation.... He gave a clinic in how to do it tonight!!!Freddie wrote:So very sorry that Mrs Freddie and I were not able to attend tonight.

Also, a Special Thanks to Van Wright (Assistant to the Vice Provost for Enrollment Management; aka Admissions Officer) who was our Master of Ceremonies! He did a great job and his enthusiasm is very contagious!!!

Re: Senior Recognition Hockey Banquet & Award Winners
Coach Williams is class all the way. Great heartfelt speech tonight. Got to sit with Wade Finnegan, what a great kid. Very enjoyable evening and nice job by MC Van Wright. Thanks to all the seniors and to Coach Williams. When we win the national championship again, this team will be remembered as the team that turned the corner for us and set a great foundation for the future.
