Gratitude for our Retired Registrar

Thank You, Beth!

 

As many of you know, Beth MacMullin retired this season after 10 years of volunteering with the Whalers. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Beth for her incredible dedication to the Whalers over the past decade. Since joining the Board in 2015 as Registrar, Beth has been an essential part of our team, always stepping up to help whenever there was a need. 

 

Aside from her Registrar role, Beth also led our Communications for three years and her commitment didn’t stop there! She generously stepped in to fill in as Treasurer when needed, AND played a key role in the Tryout Process each and every year.  

 

On top of her board roles, Beth also managed her son Duncan's teams from 2015 to 2022, providing incredible support to players, parents, and coaches alike. Her passion, reliability, and hard work have touched every corner of our organization.

 

Beth, thank you for everything you’ve given over the years. Your leadership, flexibility, and countless hours of volunteer service have made a meaningful difference, and we are so grateful to have had you as part of our team.

 

With heartfelt appreciation,

The Whalers
