Building a championship team is a "process". You really hope that Bob Hartley helped to impart a work ethic in the core players that will sustain after his departure.

Here was a man who worked installing windshields in a factory before his coaching career took off. He didn't take a day in this league for granted, and knew the fortune and hard work required to succeed. Something that I think Giordano and him
shared and hopefully helps to shape our team into the future.

I hope he continues to take pride with any success this team earns over the coming years, and management continues to mention his name when doling out credit for success, like they still do with Feaster.

Wasn't sure where I sat with Bob Hartley when Feaster originally named him head coach, but in the end I'm ecstatic with his tenure and he certainly earned my respect and appreciation.

Thanks for everything Bob, may the cake be sweet for you!
