In the NBA they have a term for a player who is usually not a "star" and doesn’t get a lot of publicity, but who quietly goes about doing the tough jobs for the team necessary for success. These players are called "the glue guys."
Thanks to all the "glue guys" (and gals) in Amherstburg.
Looking forward to another great year for this Great Small Town.
