As a parent of one of the graduating seniors, I wanted to thank the administration, teachers, coaching staff, Norwich alumni and the residents of Northfield, Vermont, for providing my son with a richly rewarding educational, sports and life experience. Because of the environment fostered by the school and town, students and their family members are immediately absorbed into the Norwich community. There is no doubt in my mind that this feeling of community will continue for years to come. My wife and I have made friends with alumni, current and former students, locals, teachers, and coaches which we cherish. Of particular note, I would like to thank Coach McShane and Coach Mattson for watching over the “boys” and helping to shape them into becoming the leaders of tomorrow. The Norwich Hockey Program is one of the most prestigious and well run ice hockey programs in DIII. The “boys” that are recruited are respectful, smart and dedicated to the sport and the team. This is a monument to the coaching staff, administration and boys themselves. I will miss attending the games but will continue to watch on the internet and listen to George. Thanks for four great years. Good Luck to all the seniors.
