Our next Farewell Friday is with our 4 year veteran, CEC Elise 💕 

“My coaches have tasked me with writing my closing words as I put in the poms for the final time. Unfortunately, they’ve given me the hardest task of all: boiling down the best four years of my life to a couple sentences. So here is my attempt:

Thank you to my coaches, Hedy Lu and Melissa, for taking a chance on me four years ago, allowing an 18 year old who was wide eyed to the world of pro dance live out her dreams. And now, still taking a chance on me becoming a team captain and leading the rookies to a successful season. You pushed me hard and held high expectations, but cultivated an enjoyable season. I respect you both immensely. 

My teammates, what a special bond we have. From 9 hour filming days to outdoor promos at -10°, I wouldn’t change a thing. You are my forever friends and I can’t imagine celebrating an Eagles win with anyone else. 

Family and friends, thank you for supporting me as I lived out my dreams, even if it were a long drive or late night. What a pleasure it was waving to you in the crowd. 

Eagles country, thank you for allowing me to cheer on our favorite team together. Through ups and downs you preserved as the best fans in the AHL!

I will be supporting from afar as graduate school takes over, but my heart will always be in Eagles country. 

With love,
CEC Elise”

Goodbyes are so hard and they never get easier, but we know this won’t be the last time we see you here in Eagles Country. Thank you for the fabulous 4 years you’ve given us, Elise. It’s with immense pride and an abundance of love that we watch you move into the next phase of your life but know that you’ll always be missed, always be cheered for, and ALWAYS welcomed back with open arms. We love you ❤️
