Thank-you Coach Graham!
We celebrated Graham Croft Coaching for 17 years at Beverly Minor Hockey! It was an amazing turnout and he was so happy that so many past players and their families came out to celebrate the night with him. Along with his current team of 17 players, 29 past players took the time to come and thank Graham for coaching them.
Graham's oldest son Justin started at Beverly in Atom and after a few years watching as a parent Graham started getting involved as an on ice helper for Kyle when he was in IP then got on the bench for Kyle's first year of Novice and stayed on the bench for 17 years! Coaching Kyle, Tegan and Devin until they all finished Midget. He was on the roster of 25 teams over the years and always willing to help out if another team needed it. He is known for his many "Grahamisms" but the most famous is when trying to get the team to focus and not let the other team get to them it was always just let it go "Like water off a ducks back!" Graham is hanging up his skates this year and will enjoy being a supportive Grandpa in the stands from now on with his four grandsons thanks to daughters Melissa and Amanda. BUT he has one more A Division Finals to Coach! Thank-you Graham for all of your years of Coaching!
