We would like to thank everyone that has made our season a success.

Thank you to everyone that helped out with hosting the WBA Regional - our WBA Regional program sponsors, event workers, City of Abbotsford DPW workers, and those that helped dry the field out Sunday morning and got it ready for play!

Thank you to our community and fans for your support all season. It was great to see you at both home and away games. Thank you to our game sponsors this season (a separate post recognizing you will be coming this week).

Thank you to Jena and Eric Elmhorst for operating the scoreboard, music, and announcements all season long.

Thank you to Josh Soyk and Sean Wagner for filling in where needed during the season.

Thank you to our umpires (Sam Zier, Nathan Schreiber, Bob Houts, Alex Larson, and Ryan Hartl).

Thank you to Colby VFW Post 2227 for Presenting the Colors at home games.

Thank you to our players and families for your dedication and sacrifice to the team all season. This would not be possible without you.
