We would like to thank the Flin Flon Bomber organization for allowing Rylan the opportunity to play with their team as well as finding him employment in the community. Larry and staff made Rylan and ourselves feel welcome at the Whitney Forum. Thank you to coaches Ryan Hoffman, Dustin Ernest, Graham Garrett and trainer Jeff Kelly for the hockey development Rylan received while in Flin Flon. The game took on new meaning for him while he was there. Thanks, also for the community support given to Rylan. A special thanks to Rylan's "adopted" family, Sherri and Kim McConnell, Zoe and Grandma Mickey. He enjoyed your home very much, the cooking too. We also want to extend our appreciation to the staff and students at Ruth Betts School. You welcomed Rylan back into the educational atmosphere and balanced his days. Thank-you for all the support given to Rylan with his hockey and personal growth while in the community of Flin Flon. Fond experiences and Congrats to the Bombers for their great organization! Sincerely, you've made a difference, Gwen & Gord Zakreski and Bomber # 44 Rylan Zakreski
