‘Obviously it’s an exciting time for all of us. First of all, it gives us an opportunity really to say thanks to Mr. Wilson and what he has done for the region, the organization, the fans and the league, really, when you think of it. I think the person that might get lost in this, I know personally I want to thank Mary Wilson. During this time, she’s been outstanding. I can only imagine what she’s going through, the emotion. She’s been great with me and great with the coaches. It’s really been outstanding.’
