Eddie, with mixed emotions I wish you all of the best in your future career. I am sad to see you go, but I want to thank you for your tireless support and leadership in promoting and advancing CIAU/CIS basketball. We will miss you in the coaches box but hope to see you courtside for many years to come. You are one of the best.
Coach P best of Luck!!
