Dear Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Fans, and the Entire Community:
I hope this letter finds you all healthy and cheerful. As I reflect on my time with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, I am overcome with gratitude and deep appreciation for your steadfast love and support. I write to you today with a grateful heart.
From the minute I joined the Blue Bombers, I was welcomed into a community that emanates warmth, friendliness, and an unwavering love of football. Your unwavering support, both on and off the pitch, has been an ongoing source of motivation and inspiration. Whether it was the raucous cheers at IG Field or the encouraging words from fans I met throughout Winnipeg, your presence has been a motivating force in my development as a player and as a person.
Playing with the Blue Bombers has been both an honour and a privilege. The camaraderie, struggles, and successes we shared helped develop me into the athlete and person I am today. The coaching staff, my teammates, and every member of the organisation have created an environment that has fostered my growth and pushed me to new heights. For this, I am eternally grateful.
To the fans, your dedication and enthusiasm for the Blue Bombers have been nothing short of incredible. Your energy lifted us through difficult times, and your faith in our team never faltered, even when confronted with obstacles. You are the Blue Bombers’ heartbeat, and I am honoured to have been a part of such an incredible community.
As I move forward in my career, I will carry with me the essential lessons, memories, and friendships I formed in Winnipeg. Thank you for believing in me and being an important part of my path. I’ll always have fond memories of the Blue Bombers and the time we spent together.
With sincere gratitude and respect,
Zachary Collaros
