Season Comes To An End
It will be hard to
adjust. It will be hard to say goodbye
to our team. It will be harder still to know
many of our
boys will be moving on. But that's true every
year and
for most of us, we will be back comes fall for
yet another
new season and more new faces.
Thank you all!
Don't

Game Story
Appropriately enough, the Tornado's only goal
came from Sean Roadhouse - thanks "Roadie!"
To the Texas
Tornado Staff, Booster Club and Fans:
This is Rita
Mitchell, Adam Mitchell's mother in MD. I wanted
to take a moment to extend my gratitude for a
wonderful hockey season. Adam has truly enjoyed
his time with the Tornado this season, has
learned a lot and become a better player and
person as a result of the Tornado staff,
coaches, team and fans!
Adam is
excited to see his family and friends back home
when he returns next week, but is saddened at
the thought of leaving his new family and
friends behind if only for a little while. We
hope to return to Texas next year as a veteran
Tornado player and again feel the warmth and
welcoming atmosphere that we enjoyed so much
this year.
I hope
everyone has a safe and prosperous spring and
summer, and we hope to see everyone at
tryouts!!!
Thank you for all that you do!
Sincerely,
Rita Mitchell
For the second
year in a row, junior forward
Derek Punches
(Manchester, Mich./Texas
Tornado)
was given the Coach's Award. Punches served as
an assistant captain, but also donned the "C"
when captain Mike Forgie (Scarborough, Ont./Stouffville
Spirit) was out with an injury. A two-time CHA
All-Academic Team honoree, Punches played in all
38 games and finished second on the team in
goals (10), fifth in points (19), and sixth in
assists (9). He established career-highs in all
three categories as well as in power-play goals
(5). Punches was also presented with the
President's Award for having the highest
grade-point average on the team. For their
contributions as leaders of the Wayne State
men's hockey team, Punches and Forgie were given
Captain's Awards.
