From the Desk of the PUBLISHER
Aidan Maton 12/9/08 - 6/20/18
Aidan was born on December 9, 2008, and he started
Ewing, then his current coach for the last few years, coach
Cindy Sokolis.
He was excited that he got to play in a hockey game at
intermission of one of the Tampa Bay Lightning games, and
he was on the local news in 2014. Although he cheered on
his hometown team, the New York Rangers were his favorite
team.
He loved Marvel and Star Wars, and he and his Dad
He loved super heros. As all kids do, he loved laser tag, and
2nd grade at Bell Shoals Academy.
As a coach, you share a special bond with your players.
Aidan was like a second son to me. His nickname was “Fire
known at the rink, always happy, smiling, and singing to the music that was playing on
the ice. He always had to stop at McDonalds before his lesson for his cheeseburger and
-
would have wanted and donated his organs. On Wednesday a gentleman got a new liver
angel will be watching over us, and we will always be remembering him.
Rest in peace, Fireball,
Coach Cindy Sokolis
