To our sponsors, supporters, friends, and family,
We are grateful for your unwavering support throughout Nate's diagnosis, passing, and beyond. Your presence has brought us immense comfort during this difficult time.
With bittersweet emotions, we just wanted to let you know that the Nate The Great tournament ended after two years. The KC board has merged the u9, u11, and u13 tournaments to create a new brand and structure. Although Nate was briefly part of the KC club, his legacy has left a lasting impact. We are thankful for his positive influence on many individuals, which has brought our community together and promoted change, inclusivity, and unity. This experience has taught us a lot, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share Nate's story in a positive light. We have received countless testimonials about how his story has changed people's lives and taught them to appreciate every day. It is a reminder that life is short and growing old is not a certainty.
As parents, the tournament was a way for us to fulfill our dream of being hockey parents. We enjoyed planning the event, witnessing young, talented players, and giving back to our community. It was a fulfilling experience, and we were blessed to help organize a grand event that exceeded our expectations. It serves as a poignant reminder of the value of community. We will always treasure the memory of the entire hockey arena at Castledowns chanting "Nate the Great." The emotions we experienced during that moment were powerful, and our beloved boy was beaming with joy alongside us.
Once again, we want to express our gratitude for your incredible support.
Nate will always be remembered as a legend who was a "bucket filler, not a dipper." To all the bucket fillers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us heal our broken souls with your kindness, love, and devotion.
With sincere thanks,
The Beaudoin's
