Victoria, BC - The Victoria Salmon Kings' President Dave Dakers wrote an open letter to Salmon Kings' fans today addressing the organization's moving into a new era.

Dear Salmon Kings Nation,

It is with mixed emotion that I write to you today in regards to the new era of Salmon Kings hockey. This offseason has seen many changes and some very important additions that will be announced over the coming weeks.

While I'm excited about the future it is important to recognize the past and to thank those that have been a large part in helping to provide the foundation for this organization. To begin, the Salmon Kings' family would like to thank Wes Goldie and his family for his four years with our organization. He represented the team and himself in a professional manner, and his contributions as a part of this team and the community will be remembered.

Our goal as an organization is to improve every season and compete for a championship. While, we have had reasonable success over the past few seasons we have not achieved our goal. This evolution requires change and a collective team effort to continue to see our upward progression.

Wes was offered a position with our team that would have continued to allow him to play an important role for us. When Wes and his family made their final decision it was to move on from Victoria. We wish him and his family continued success.

We have been given an opportunity to improve our leadership this offseason. It is with no disrespect to Wes and his accomplishments while with the Salmon Kings, but we have chosen to take this opportunity. As an organization we believe this gives us the best opportunity to achieve our goal of a championship.

General Manager and Head Coach Mark Morrison along with his hockey operations department have begun to put a very strong squad together for next season. There will be many significant signings announced over the coming weeks as we continue to aggressively pursue success.

The 2010-11 season is shaping up to be an exciting one and we look forward to your continued support as you join us for another great season of Salmon Kings' hockey!

Sincerely,

Dave Dakers President
