Good Evening, We would truly like to thank you for the amazing package of articles which you sent to us , here in Toronto.
All the contributions the Booster Club does to make the boys feel welcome is very heartfelt to the parents.
I look forward to purchasing a jersey with Liam's name on it as well as some window stickers for our vehicles.
Thanks again,

Hi, Booster Club Executives:

Just a note of thanks to each of you for your stalwart and enthusiastic devotion to the team.

It has been a tough year in many ways with seeing so many of the young men, whom we had watch mature, traded away to other teams.  That was bittersweet and I, for one, hope they know they are really still 67's in our hearts! All the best to each of them and many thanks for letting us share the ride as far as we could.
The travel out to Kanata, for some, has meant an increase in expense that is not easily afforded. But that does not mean they have abandoned their "boys". Many are eagerly awaiting the return to Lansdowne and the rekindling of great friendships.

The erratic schedule (i.e. week-nights that are not junior hockey nights) has also had an impact, in my opinion..... hey, but who asked for my opinion!  :-D 

We will tough it through another year together as we wait for our new "old home" to open.  We will cheer loudly and proudly as we watch all the new guys hone their skills; and, we will remember the boys who grew to manhood sporting the red-white-and black of our OTTAWA 67's.

Throughout all of the above and even some areas not touched upon, the Booster Club has remained loyal and, as I stated at the beginning, super supportive of the young men selected to play hockey for our beloved 67's.  You are to be commended and thanked, which I am now doing, from the bottom of my heart.

Enjoy your summer! See you next season. LET'S GO, 67'S !!!!!!

First... a belated thank you to the Booster Club for sending out the email about the postponed friday night game a few weeks ago.  It saved me a long cold drive and without your email I was planning to go.

A second special thank you to Joanne Cleary for calling me to tell me my email account had been hacked last week.  Once again the Booster Club was the first off the mark and because I got there quickly I was able to minimize the damage...... in fact I got there so quickly I probably forgot to thank her... so here is my thank you.
 
Kudos to Joanne!

Hey Joanne,

Yeah they really took a little bit out of the heart of the team and the kids they moved but I think it is something all teams go through when they are in a transition period. All I can tell you Joanne is that the work that you and the Booster Club is extremely appreciated and what you do for these young men is outstanding. The tours that you run are always energized and good fun. It was great to see you last weekend as well as your members of the Barber Pole Nation. Remy's time in Ottawa was truly enjoyed and been made richer because of people like you. Keep up the great work and we will be up for the Feb 8th game and I love the Barber Poles and will get out to see the team, the boosters and coaches in the not so distant future.

Thank You all and may God Bless. On behalf of Remy, Tessa Nicole and I from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Respectfully
Mike

Just wanted to commend the Booster club for a fun, well organized event - Raffi and I had a great time.

If I may offer some advice - I think it would be a shame if the Booster club were to shut down because of the move to SBP. It is a challenge, geographically, for many of us to make the move - in fact, I may reduce my commitment from full-season to Friday night package. But, as will be the case for the team, I think this is an opportunity to reach out to a new market and clientele - west-enders who are hockey fans. At the end of the day, this move could help to increase the profile of the 67's in the city - and could likewise be a boost to the Booster club membership (probably more so in year 2, than year 1).

Again, as volunteers, the Booster organizing committee does a fantastic job of supporting the team - both the fans and 67's club would welcome that continued support at SBP.

Regards,
David Adjeleian

Dear Group Organizer,

I hope you are enjoying the London Knights season so far! I wish to personally thank you for all your hard work and effort in organizing and promoting group tickets to our regular season home game last Saturday, March 3rd.

I can relate to the amount of work and the various tasks that an organizer is subject too. For that reason, I greatly appreciate your dedication, passion, and commitment to the London Knights Hockey Club.

I hope your group enjoyed the experience at the game. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me, as I will be more than happy to assist you. I look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks again and have a great day!

I just wanted to say thank you to all involved in putting together one excellent road trip. There is not a negative thing that could be said. "Duke" was amazing, the accommodation was great, and the games were just the best. Thanks to all. Alana had a ball and everyone on the bus were so nice and helpful to her. Can't wait for the next 67's road trip.

Alan Ross Wortman


March 5, 2012

We had a great and fun trip with the other 67's fans on the bus it was the best ever and also Cathy and Christine did a great job and was very organized; The bus driver Duke was very nice and helpful and the best.
The holtel was great.
Thank you of thinking of us when the couple cancelled.
See you at the game.

Dear Booster Club Members,

Where do I start. I can not begin to thank you all for your hard work and dedication you have shown and will continue to show to the players of your "Ottawa 67s". Your endless hours of work both at the rink and behind the scenes is commendable and greatly appreciated by myself and I am sure by all the parents. The boys are truly blessed to have your loyal support each and every year. I am most certain that the Ottawa 67s Booster Club is by far the best in the OHL!!

From the dinners, the gifts, acknowledgments, kind words, envelopes to the parents, and not to mention your smiling faces behind the tables at the Civic Centre, you make it a treat to come to the rink every game. You are a great welcoming committee and the organization is very lucky to have such a dedicated group around.
So, on a more personal note, on behave of Dave and I, we would like to thank-you for making Thomas' 5 years an experience he will never, ever forget and one that we, the Nesbitt's, will always treasure and hold dear to our hearts.
You are the best!!!!!

All our love,
Dave and Maria
"The Nesbitt's"

A very decent road effort from the 67's yesterday. Some late concerns in the dying minutes with Mississauga pressing us deep in our own zone but we managed to fend off the attack (no pun intended Owen Sound) and skate away with a 4-2 victory. Good on the 67's to take 2 of 3 so far against Missy and get the split here at the Hersey Centre. Ottawa totally dominated the first period taking it to the Majors and opened up a 3-1 first period lead. I thought the second frame was fairly even but the lone marker was posted by Ryan 'Brooklin' Martindale on a beautiful deflection on a shot from the point area. The 67's played very well defensively and didn't allow Missy to get their cycle game going down low. Mrazek was solid in goal and J.P. Anderson didn't really have any chance on any of the goals scored...Very nice to see the Ottawa Booster Club making an appearance at the game. My better half and I were quite surprised that they were actually sitting in our section behind the Majors net. Certainly added some much needed life into the arena so thanks guys! ! ..Nice to see the boys salute the Ottawa fans at game's end by raising their sticks in the air at center ice. Nice touch boys, nice touch!



Monday, February 14 2011

As for yesterday in Mississauga, they placed the whole group on the other side of the arena from the Ottawa parents. Which really worked well because they were getting it (lots of noise and cheering) from 2 sides of the arena. I stopped and talked to a few of the ladies as I walked into the arena and told them they had to make even more noise to motivate the players for this game (Mississauga is always tough to play) and they did, you’d be proud and it worked!!!

I have to tell you , it was priceless seeing OUR BOYS at the end of the game at center ice raising their sticks in appreciation to all their fans, (the Booster Club) I wish a had a camera with me, I’ve never seen them do that away from home

Thanks for all the newspaper clippings, I always put together a memory book for Nicky each year and they help a lot.

Thanks Again

Have a GREAT Day

Shane just called me and told me all about last nights dinner. He is so impressed and happy to be there
and the 67 Booster Club ranks high on his list of reasons. He has called home numerous times sine being
traded to Ottawa to tell us how unbelieveable the Booster Club is and what great people you all are.

Please pass along our sincere thanks and appreciation to all the members. As a parent it is extremely
comforting to know that good folks like you are there to support the boys on and off the ice.
You are all a tremendous group of people who deserve high praise for the things you do.

Thank you so very much!

Dan & Rita Prince

We just wanted to write to express our thanks for the lovely weekend we had in Kingston courtesy
of the Booster Club. We had a great weekend - the hotel & breakfast were great. They did all they
could to make our stay pleasant. The K-Rock suite and hospitality were also great.

Thanks to the Booster Club for making all this possible. Too bad you couldn't have arranged a win for us though.

We especially appreciate all that is done for our team players too.

Thank you again
