Devil fans,
On behalf of the King, Parker, Shostak and Hughes families I'd like to thank everyone for such a fantastic weekend and for the incredibly warm hospitality that has been given to all of us. We so enjoyed getting to know your beautiful city. What a perfect blend of old and new, big city and small town. We cannot wait to come back and spend more time in Cardiff.
And then there was the game experience! We totally recognize that a game against Hull would traditionally not be the biggest draw. Yet there you all were, decked out in red and the biggest BBT crowd in years. Then the ovation prior to the opening face off was absolutely incredible. I wish every person could experience a moment like that. Needless to say, the way the boys played was the cherry on top of a perfect evening and a perfect trip.
I absolutely loved meeting several of you. The kind words of appreciation and support show us that this was a tremendous decision to get involved with this team and this community. The topper was all of us receiving hand carved Welsh Love Spoons at the pre-game get together.
We took the players out for a pint (two maximum as per Mr. Kelman' strict orders!) and it was also great to listen to their stories on how much they're enjoying playing here, how well they are getting along as teammates and how much all of them want to be back next year. We are quickly becoming a destination of choice in the EIHL and that's exciting for all of us.
So thanks again to all of you. Despite our busy work and family schedules, we hope to be back as often as we can and most importantly...
GO DEVILS GO!!!
