"I'd like to start by thanking the Colorado Junior Eagles organization for the most memorable two years of my junior career. It was an honor to be able to play for Coach Haddon and owners Casey and Jen Bradshaw. Finally, but most importantly, I have to thank Shawn and Stacy Libal along with the Libal and Fanchers for being welcoming, supportive and generous for the 2 years I played for the Eagles organization. I will be attending Finlandia University in the fall. I'm very excited for the opportunity that has been presented to me and other Eagles alumni. Thanks to everyone in Colorado. Once an Eagle always an Eagle," said Wammes closing his chapter with the Eagles organization.

 

The veteran defenseman is coming off his best two seasons of junior hockey with the Eagles, help lead them to two Mountain division titles and two Thorne Cup finals. Wammes also set a new franchise record for defenseman recording 6 points in one game versus Cheyenne in a 6-4 Eagles win.

 

"Adam's time here was special, he accomplished a lot and grew on and off the ice. He can be a game changer. His character and determination mixed in with his skill, smarts and the ability to play with an edge, make him the complete package. Adam has the opportunity to take this game as far as he wants to go with it. I am so proud of him and I want to thank him for everything he put into this organization on and off the ice," said Head Coach, Steve Haddon.
