75 years on the ice

• I would like to extend a great well done to everyone in Groton for the 75 year tradition of bringing its youth together on the ice. It says so very much for your town. Having grown up in a small town and spending as much time as I possibly could on the ice and roller skates I can see the great value to the youth of your community.
• I hope you keep up the good work.
