Tomorrow the tournament begins with quals for the RW and the CM, followed by the quals for CW and RM.

The kids are in great spirits they are working well together and with the coaching and leadership staff. And most important they are developing a special chemistry. I must also say that the leadership and coaching staff has treated me absolutely terrific. it is a real honor for me to experience this tournament and my thanks go out to these wonderful coaches Sheri Rhodes and Bill Coady and the very capable team leader Derek Davis who have gone above and beyond for me in every way. My sincerest thanks go out to Derek, Sheri and Bill.

The tournament is upon us , and as a spectator I cant wait . Tomorrow cant come soon enough.
