Letter from D6 Official from Ludington
The following letter was received from an official out of D6 in Ludington. They were an official at the Squirt B States at West Shore.
It is always nice to get a good word now and then but, not often do you get a letter sent directly from the officials commending your players. Great job to Tawas Blackhawks Players, parents and coaches. Your team, players and coaches, showed great pride and represented your association with pride and honor. GREAT JOB!
Jamie:
I am pretty sure that the Tawas City Team was the District 7 Team Representative – that won the Squirt B States at West Shore.
They are a class act – their sportsmanship from the coaches and the players was just off the charts.
I just wanted to make sure that in addition to being State Champions in the Squirt B – which I am know they are all proud of... They were also great sportsmen.
Little things I saw were the coaches and all the players on the ice acknowledging the opposing goalie after a good save. Tapping their sticks on the ice applauding the runner up when their names were read. Coaches being totally respectful at all times during the tournament.
