2013 End of Season Party, #28 Retired - Scott Zwiers

Scott Zwiers has been an irreplaceable member of this hockey family and only 2nd Eagle to have his number retired.

End of Season Party = EPIC

The food was great...the beer was great...the Bistro took great care of us...the Eagles flocked with over 70 showing up to celebrate the end of another GREAT season!

Retirement of #28 - Scott Zwiers:

As some of the Eagles know, we are losing a long time pivotal piece in this great hockey organization.

After much discussion, we have decided that Scott Zwier's contributions to this hockey family warranted him the greatest honor we could possibly give him by retiring his number, #28. His hockey resume more than shows that he is more than deserving of this great honor.

Scott "Scotty" Zwiers is only the second Eagle to have his number retired only behind our legendary former Eagles President, Todd Poynter. We definitely caught Scotty off guard with the prestigious honor and he was extremely humbled.

We all hope that he will be able to return to our family shortly in the future. To the right is what is inscribed on his plaque.

28

has been officially retired on this 20th day of April 2013 in dedication to

Scott "Scotty" Zwiers

2009 & 2012 DPL Champion...2009-2012 USAFE Champion...2-time USAFE MVP...2011 & 2012 Zweibrucken Champion...Respected leader by opposing teams...Phenomenal hockey player...Feared presence on the ice...A model Eagle...Irreplaceable

You have been the cornerstone of this great hockey organization for half of a decade. The contributions you made on and off the ice are the reason why we are the unmatched hockey family we are today. We are sure that you have countless Eagle memories...if you didn't drink too much whiskey or beer. Between the glory of championships, recognition of MVP awards, meeting the craziest people in the world, drinking massive amounts of beer, jammin' out to Metallica videos and traveling all over Europe...we know you will miss it all and this organization will definitely miss you. Your number being retired ensures us that your hockey and drunken spirit lives on forever here.

Remember...once an Eagle...always an Eagle!

#28 will be waiting for you

GO EAGLES!!!
Your Forever KMC Eagles Hockey Family
