August 10th,
2008 Todd Olson receives a dedication from
the Skis for his 20 years of service as a player and
manager.
The Skis ended their season yesterday with a loss in the
region tournament. It also ended the career of
Skis manager Todd Olson. Todd has decided to
retire after his twenty years of service for the Skis as
both a player and manager. Todd dedicated his
summers to the Skis each year, never missing a
game. He's lead the Skis to successful
seasons countless times including division titles,
playoff titles, region titles and state tournament
appearances. Last Saturday before the games got
under way a dedication ceremony was held in Sobieski
honoring Todd with a framed #19 jersey, and having him
throw out the first pitch. Congratulations Todd on
an excellent career and best of luck in the future.
