Good Luck Coach Andrew Hegarty

August 10, 2008

Coach Andrew Hegarty is leaving for London, Ontario, to attend Fanshawe. Thank you Andrew for all that you’ve done for TISC and the skaters. 

He wrote a note on his blog in School, Olympics, Skating, saying-

Negative:  No more coaching at TISC.  I’ll be leaving the club as an active coach at the end of the week and I will definitely miss practices and all of the skaters.  This season was such an awesome experience for me as a coach and something that I’ll take with me when I move.
