“I would just like to say thanks to everyone who has supported me in Dryden and thanks for a great time. I wish the Ice Dog’s the best in the future and am looking forward to moving on to the college level. I believe that since playing for Coach Clint (and the big beauty Ollie) and being able to play with such a great group of young talented guys, I am ready for the next level. Thanks again everyone.”  Chad Liley said when asked about his time with Dryden, and his future with the Lumberjacks.

Mike Lennon, a native of Wisconsin, had this to say, “I can’t say enough about what a great experience it was to play for the Ice Dogs last season. I would like to thank Coach Mylymok, the town of Dryden and everyone who has helped me achieve my goal to play college hockey. The community was very welcoming to all of us this year and was a great place to spend my last year of Junior hockey. Lastly I would like to thank my teamates. I will have memories to last a lifetime from you guys and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for you.”
