Thanks for everything! We will miss you!

Today we mourn the loss of our friend, KC McKillip.
KC loved his wife & kids first & foremost, but hockey, All Seasons Arena and Musky fishing followed close behind.
For 3+ decades we’ve been blessed with KC at the rink, making it a better place. We’ll miss him dearly.

About 10 RoughRiders take a lap around the ice to salute the fans. The three captains: Jason Polin, Kyle Looft and Liam Walsh hug each other as they leave the ice for a final time. These kids invest so much.
