It's going to be something we'll consider.

That's okay.

I appreciate it.

Thanks for having me on, guys.

Did we miss this?

My God.

Get the mic.

First off, we want to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of John Garrett and Ernie Punch McLean.

I want to thank ownership Francesco and Roberto Aquilini for this incredible opportunity.

When they came to us with their vision and the plan for the next upcoming years, we got very excited.

We spent 26 years in this amazing city.

We were drafted in 1999 and played 17 unforgettable seasons alongside some of our best friends, teammates, and staff.

In 2018, we became part of the very spirited fan base in the city.

We were fans for three years before we came back in a management role.

We then turned into player development, were part of a little bit of scouting, coaching, so we've seen a lot of different aspects of this organization.

Every successful team we've been a part of had values, cornerstones that could answer one question.

Why are we here and what do we stand for?

Three words that we will live by, connected, committed, and purpose.

We want to reestablish the connection from top to bottom within this organization, but also in the community to this fan base and to the city of Vancouver and the province of BC.

And we have a clear vision that will connect us to be a sustainable winning culture.
