IVAN MACDONALD #28 RETIREMENT LETTER

Received Feb. 14th 2005
I wanted to inform you my run with the Bladerunners is about over. I have been offered an opportunity back home in Baton Rouge I simply cannot walk away from and Susan and I have decided to move to Baton Rouge. I am going to miss the team more then anything else however like Sanjay I hope I am included in all the emails and of course parties, I am only a $120 flight away and of course maybe a Bladerunner New Orleans trip could be in our future.
But anyway I wanted to let you know I will be moving by Mid March so I only got about 4 more games left really sucks this part because Hockey and the team was pretty important to me.
Anyway man, wanted to let you know… I will miss the lockerroom banter and hopefully next year I can make Vegas and of course since I will be in the email chain (hopefully) I can make some of the parties as well.
I found a place to play in Louisiana believe it or not, and judging from the talent level I will be like Tim out there….. But its ice and I will take anything I can get.
Anyway man, I wanted to thank you for sticking with me as a teammate although at times on the ice I was less then stellar. It has been a fantastic 12 years with the Runners.
Talk to you soon.
