To the Redblacks Nation,
I can’t express how grateful I am or how much I appreciate the amazing love and support I have received from the Redblacks community as I sit down to write this letter. I would want to extend my sincere gratitude and sense of pride to the Ottawa Redblacks organization, as well as to my teammates, coaches, and the ardent supporters who have supported me all along the way.
I experienced this community’s warm welcome as soon as I came in Ottawa. The foundation of my growth as a player and a person has been Redblacks Nation’s enthusiasm, fervor, and consistent support. My unwavering quest of excellence on and off the field has been fueled by your support from the stands, your words of encouragement, and your faith in me.
I’m grateful to the Redblacks organization for allowing me to proudly wear this jersey. My development has been greatly aided by your confidence in me and the constant assistance I’ve received from the management, coaching staff, and administrative team. Coach Dyce, you have inspired me to aim for excellence every day with your guidance and faith in my talents. I shall carry the ideals and teachings you have taught me with me throughout my professional life.
To my teammates, you are my family, not simply my coworkers. We have overcome obstacles, shared triumphs, and created enduring relationships together. The team’s friendship, diligence, and commitment have made my experience with the Redblacks incredibly memorable. It is a privilege for me to have performed with such gifted and motivated people who push me to always strive for excellence.
We are grateful for your steadfast support, Redblacks Nation’s heart and soul—the fans. Your enthusiasm and presence could always be felt, whether we were playing at TD Place Stadium or somewhere else. Your devotion to us and your excitement have always inspired us to give our finest work. The bond I have with everyone of you is something I will always treasure.
I take the priceless memories, teachings, and experiences from my time with the Redblacks with me as I look to the future. I am honored to be a member of this amazing community and will always treasure the times we have spent together. I appreciate you being the finest fans in the league, believing in me, and giving me a space to flourish.
Always appreciative and a Redblack,
Kalil Pimpleton
