Dear S2 AAA Hockey Parents and Players,
Over the last couple of months, I have done a lot of thinking as to the direction of this organization. Two important questions come to mind – “What am I trying to achieve with my sponsorship at S2?” and “What are the goals of the S2 AAA Hockey Organization?” As players and parents, I believe I owe you the answers to these questions.
“Our goal as an organization is to develop young players and prepare them for life. S2 will provide an avenue for each individual to develop their life skills in a competitive orientated team environment.”
This statement will be our mission statement as an organization. Each person in our organization will hold this statement in high regards. As a sponsor, I will demand that everyone involved in our organization put this statement before any of their individual needs. Our players will always come first.
As an organization, we have learned important lessons along the way. Yes, we have made mistakes and I will be the first to admit those mistakes. We have put growth ahead of communication with you as parents and players. We have not done a very good job of hearing your voice or your concerns. We have lacked the details that are needed for any business or organization to be successful.
With that said, the goal of this letter is to let you know that our direction and leadership at S2 AAA Hockey is going to change. We are going to start over with a few new faces and a few old faces, all who share the same common goal as I. This organization will be about our community and the development of our players. I will no longer allow disconnects of communication within the organization.
I am committed to improving the name of S2 AAA Hockey and I believe this is the first step in the right direction. It will not happen overnight and I understand this is the first step of many to come. I ask for your patience as players and parents as we reshape S2 AAA Hockey to make it a place you are proud to be a part of and play for.
Regards,
Marc DeForest
President of S2 AAA Hockey Organization
