As a proud Empire parent I ask that everyone please end the non sense. For those who have chosen to leave, it's your choice to do what is best for your child/family and no one can ever take that away from you. Emotions are running high and frankly this has spun out of control. This year's Empire team will be different from last year's team and that's ok - but please keep in mind these are all young men who all get along and have respect for another. Maybe they can teach us something...Amidst the differences between some folks, it was a successful season and the boys had a blast every step of the way. Let's have some respect for one another and move on...for those who will no longer be part of the Empire family - good luck moving forward.
