Dear Iowa Wild fans and the entire community,
I hope this message finds you well. As I reflect on my time with the Iowa Wild, I am overwhelmed 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 Iowa Wild, I was welcomed into a community that exudes love, friendliness, and an unwavering enthusiasm for the game. Your unwavering support, both on and off the ice, has been an ongoing source of motivation and inspiration. Whether it was the loud cheers during game nights at Wells Fargo Arena or the encouraging words from fans I met throughout Des Moines, your presence has been a driving force in my development as a player and a person.
Playing for the Iowa Wild 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 passion for the Wild 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 Wild’s heartbeat, and I am honoured to have been a part of such an incredible community.
As I advance in my work, I will bring with me the tremendous lessons, memories, and connections I have formed in Iowa. Thank you for believing in me and being an important part of my path. I’ll keep the Wild dear to my heart and treasure the time we spent together.
With sincere gratitude and respect,
Gavin Hain
