Nipho Methula- “You bring such a passion to the game and life itself. You wear your passion on your sleeves and through the thick of things you always find a way to flash that smile. Carry that passion with you and continue to use it positively throughout your journey.”
Sam Box- “We have been through a lot the last 4 years. Through it all you stayed true to yourself. I will certainly miss the laughs we have as a team on your account. I wish you nothing but the best.”

Colby Swift– “Colby we have had a long successful run journey together. Since you were 10 you have protected my goal from opposing forwards . You have cemented a special place in my heart and i am very, very proud to see the man you are today. Thank you Colby from the bottom of my heart for showing your trust in me all these years.”
Kaden Quint-“Kaden this place has been your home since day one. For 20 plus years you have been runnning all over campus begging for candy, playing in the gym, yelling at the players for not finishing shots, making that save or just to run faster. One of my favorite memories is you yelling at Kavin Lamm While he was running… why do you always finish last. Tun faster, you are so slow… you would say. Needless to say time has gone by way too fast! I am so proud of the man you have become.”
