Mike Washburn Chairman and Tom Watkins General Manager both made eloquent speeches with awards handed out to those instrumental in not just ensuring that the Telford Tigers managed to put out two teams each and every week but that the on ice and off ice activities were orchestrated like a finely tuned machine.
A true reflection of a happy club all pulling together to make the Tigers a sustainable success.
Telford Tigers owner and Chairman Mike Washburn commented on the evening saying;
“What a fantastic tribute to Telford Tigers at our awards evening, a thoroughly enjoyable event for all and a most memorable one at that!
Given where we were at the date of the fans forum, I would never have predicted how close Tigers 1 came to clinching a spot in the play-off final, let alone Tigers 2 bagging the Cup and Playoff double! All suitably celebrated on the evening, together with a celebration of our players, coaching staff, off ice staff and club volunteers – nicely rounded off by spending the entire evening with the best fans in the business.
A very big thank you to everyone who attended and made the event the most memorable occasion it was. Keep watching the information channels, there is lots going on over the closed season!”
