"Heart, Strength and Dedication -
A Leader, a Competitor, a Gentleman"

Rich Skapski 2003-2004

Rich Skapski, the oldest rookie to start with the Cowboys 9 years ago, took very little time to show that he was here to stay.  Since joining the Cowboys he has shown his dedication and commitment to the team,  not only in the way he plays the game, but also with his spirit and willingness to help off the ice.   He is well respected and looked upon as a steady influence to our team.  Rich is a true Cowboy in every sense, and is deserving to be named "Cowboy of the Year".
