Bismarck, ND – Even though our favorite team fell short of bringing home Robby (Robertson Cup), there are plenty of things that the Bobcats can hold their heads high about. For example, they have won four straight Central Division Titles and earned 92 points this year. Also, my coach of the year, Layne Sedevie and the way he put together this group of Bobcats is super.

I’d like to send a special thank you to the following people: Paul Teeple for never forgetting me while the team was in Frisco, Thom Brigl for being the best owner ever, Layne Sedevie for treating me like family and waiting for Transit with me after the Coaches Show, Audrey Halverson for always including me in the team program every year, Super Talk 1270 for bringing all of the away games to me, the players for their media availability, and also the people at the rink for their cooperation with the elevator. Thom, I love you and you bring me great joy for the way each and every one of you treat me like family. There is no other hockey team in the world that I would rather work for, and that is from the bottom of my heart. I will always be a Cat!
