It’s been two and a half days and I’m still buzzing from this weekend…

This has been 7 years in the making. 7 years of hard work, relationship building and trust. I hope that this past weekend finally answered the question of, “when are we going to get a BIG event here?!”

Thank you first and foremost to the Lockport Park District more specifically, Jeff Loeschen and Dave Herman. Without your continued effort on making this place awesome it would just be another event. Thank you so much for always going the extra mile.

To my amazing wife, Sheila Callahan. I really hope that people know just how much you do for these events. Without your ability to plan and organize this would just be another event. You are very much the brains of this operation and I absolutely love it and I’m so proud of you!

To my right hand men, Ryan Fancher, Leo Borowski, and Thor Batchelor. The only reason I continue to pursue these things is because we get to do it together. We have turned our friendship and love of this game into an experience that I am very proud of. Thank you for the continued above and beyond effort.

To the extended TD staff, Mike Apostolou, Joe Moore, Josh Schenkenfelder and Paula Borowski. I spent most of the weekend worrying about whether or not I was doing enough because you guys had the front line on lock. Thank you so much for giving up your holiday weekend to make sure that Clash was epic. It was surely because of you!

Thanks to the best volunteer crew anyone could ever ask for. You guys are truly the reason that the players had such a great experience.

Congratulations to Dan Schlitter. I was asked a few days before the event, how I’d like to see it play out. Let’s just say my dreams came true. You are the real deal sir. You define what it means to be an athlete and a person. I’m so proud of you man. 2X!!

Congratulations to Kristin Tattar. It’s an amazing experience being able to host to touring pros let alone pros from the other side of the globe. Thank you so much for being there we hope to see you back!
