Coach's Letter

Dear Mississippi Thunder Kings U18,

I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you as we embark on an exciting new chapter together. My name is Ryan Hawes, and I am honored to take on the role of Head Coach for this remarkable team. The Mississippi Thunder Kings have a special place in my heart  and I am eager to lead this talented group of athletes to new heights.

As your coach, I am committed to fostering an environment of unity, trust, and growth. Together, we will build a culture that celebrates hard work, sportsmanship, and the pursuit of excellence both on and off the ice. I am dedicated to helping each of you reach your fullest potential as athletes and as individuals, pushing you beyond your perceived limits and guiding you towards greatness.

In the coming weeks and months, we will dive headfirst into training and preparation. We will prepare together, we will learn together, and we will grow together. I believe in the power of teamwork, and I have no doubt that our collective efforts will yield remarkable results.

To the parents of the Mississippi Thunder Kings, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. Your passion fuels our drive, and we will make it our mission to make you proud each and every time we step foot on the ice.

Get ready, Thunder Kings, because together, we will make some thunderous noise! Welcome to the beginning of an incredible journey.

Yours in hockey,
