This book is dedicated to a man who has created a sports legacy in his hometown by priding himself on sportsmanship, work ethic, and fairness. He is a father that coached his kids and taught them not only how to be athletes, but what it takes to improve. When opposing coaches shunned players and denied them access to their teams, he gave those players a chance and ultimately, changed their lives. He is a coach that stayed positive when his team faced adversity and instilled confidence in his players; they would run through a wall for him. He is a man that leads by example—humble when he wins and positive when he loses.
To Coach Gene Tremblay, my Dad.
