As we Say Goodbye to 2010......

Wow Guys what a great night we had last night!
As Patrick, Liam and I drove home we couldn't help but talk about our final night together for the 2010 season. I hope it was as special for all of you as it was for us. My deepest thanks to Coach Eugene for all the effort he puts into the time he has with you. Once again I wanted to tell you how proud we all are of the effort you all put into this season.....Thank You -we know it was not always easy for you ( and your parents )to commit to the effort we were asking of you. We saw some amazing growth in ability and stamina from all of you this year and believe that with that ongoing dedication and effort we will be able to build on the gains you have made this year and take the High School program to a new level next year. Thank You for the wonderful gift it means a great deal to me and it will always be a great reminder to me of our time together.

Both Coach Eugene, Coach Scott, and I appreciate the respect you always showed us as we shared some of the "not just for basketball" tools with you that we have learned throughout the course of our lives. We hope that at a time when you need them those tools will help you build the lives that your parents and teachers all know you can achieve when you put the work in and continue to make good choices.

So as a final thought.......until we get to spend time together in 2011, don't forget to be a Thermostat not a Thermometer and have a great 2010.

See you all at the Banquet on Saturday March 13th at 3pm.

Fast Break aka Coach Wayne

Wow!!! Amazing event last night guys. I was extremely impressed with the
work you all put into participating in each event. I Never saw one set of eyes
with a look of defeat in them no matter how much difficulty you were having
performing the drills.

Talk about "raising your performance to meet and exceed your expectations"
A special thank you go's out to Steve and his staff at SST for the wonderful job he did putting you
through all those new exercises.
If you are like my Patrick your bodies are all thanking you this morning for
showing them so much respect last night. Some of you may be finding muscles you never knew you had......all good stuff!

Remember to give some thought and effort to bringing out a friend to basketball next week. It is still early into the season and we have room for a couple more quality guys who would love to come out and play ball.

A very special Thank you to Coach Eugene who was not willing to accept "no
basketball" this early into the season and put together an amazing event for us all last night.
We both hope last night was just the beginning of you realizing what your capable of accomplishing with a great attitude and the work ethic to make it happen.
Great Job Huskies!
See you next week. Fast Break.

Hey Guys.....

Figured you might take a moment to stop by the site over the next few months... just wanted you to know how much Coach Eugene and I appreciate all the hard work you put into making this - "The first season of the "Haldimand Huskies High School Boys league" such an amazing success.

We hope that you will reflect on the things we worked on this year and always realize just how much you are capable of accomplishing, not only on the basketball court but in every aspect of your lives. You were born to succeed - you just need to believe it in your hearts!

Then back it up with the work.

We look forward to seeing many of you back next season, where you will be able to help lead a new group of "Huskies" discover what can be achieved as a team. Those of you who are moving on to new challenges remember we will be cheering you on, so keep in touch and take with you our best wishes for success in all your worthwhile endeavours.
