A special thank you goes out to our surprise guest speaker, Murray Oliver, who enthralled attendees with stories of his playing and coaching days.  His own storied career included over 1000 games playing with Bobby Orr, Gordy Howe, and Lou Nanne at the Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings, and the Minnesota North Stars. Murray also imparted his wisdom on raising and coaching young hockey players -- his number recommendation was to KEEP IT FUN!

Murray is a fixture at most MWHA U10 games to watch his granddaughter play and his daughter (Sue Schepers) coach.  Thank you to Lisa Dierbeck and Cindy Lund for organizing this event; and to Sue Schepers for bringing her father in to share a little hockey history with us.
