We Protest the Dismissal of Lew Grant

For lew

I've played league hockey & participated in private skates at the Glenwood Rec Ice Rink for over 6 enjoyable years. Lew has always been outstanding at organizing these schedules & events and exceptional at communicating them to teams & players in an always timely manner. But more importantly, he fostered a warm, friendly & fun environment at the rink that has sadly and rather quickly diminished upon his dismissal.

Lou is great. I have been part of the Glenwood Springs ice hockey program for the past 4 years. I believe he is a big part of its success and his dismissal will diminish the quality of your product.

Every encounter I've had with Lew has been professional, he is an amazing supervisor and valued part of the hockey community in the valley.

I couldn't believe when I learned that Lew was dismissed from the Glenwood Rec Department. Over the last six years since I began skating Lew has been a dedicated employee as well as a stellar supervisor. The rink was well organized and the Rec Hockey Leagues were efficiently managed, keeping teams honest. From the trivial reasonings that I understand lead to his dismissal, it's seems unacceptable that the management took this action. The fact that the leadership at the Rec Department let him go only after allowing him to undertake the construction of the new building, as well as taking in and setting up all the scheduling and leagues for the winter is a true testament to the fact that he was the keystone in ice rink operations.

Go Lew:)

Lew Grant has run the Ice Rink program superbly without any hitches since I've been in town(10+yrs.). He is a man of integrity and always there for the people using the rink. He's friendly, open to suggestions and easily approachable. I feel his upbeat spirit and dedication has made the rink a successful venture. You need to know what an asset he is to your organization and that we greatly appreciate his excellence in dealing with everyone at the highest professional level! It would be a shame as Everyone Loses in the end if Lew is not reinstated- Lew Grant deserves another chance! Thank you for listening-

Lew has always done a first rate job running the rink-employees were welcoming and helpful-rink clean-Wrong Decision!!!!

An evaluation of the dismissal should be reviewed........

I have a hard time thinking that Lew's termination was justified. I have worked with Lew both as a hockey player and during the construction of the ice rink addition. He has been the ultimate professional and always cared about each one of our concerns. I would like to see Lew get a fair hearing in front of the City. I feel very confident that Lew would be reinstated immediately. The City has lost a great person here and he deserves to be back at the ice rink ASAP!

I have been privileged to know Lew Grant since he first moved to Glenwood and took over the operation of the rink. Over the manybuears, I have had nothing but excellent experiences; as he managed the adult leagues, in which i participated, and as he helped me and my two sons through almost a decade of youth hockey and rock wall climbing at the rec center. He has not only been extremely knowledgeable and helpful - he was welcoming and friendly and made the rink a wonderful amenity for the entire community. In light of his years of dedicated service and the quality of his work, i strongly suggest that his case be carefully reviewed and that he be rehired immediately. Thank you for your consideration.

I will never play adult hockey in Glenwood ever again and no drop in as well. Glenwood needs a new head of the Glenwood Community Center.

I have always respected and appreciated the patience and wisdom Lew has shown in managing the rink. He has to deal with a lot of folks all having their own ideas of how things should be run and from my experience he has been respectful and conscientious. Great manager

The man should have his job back!

Lew hardLy parts his hair. when he does he looks presentabLe.

Lew has always treated me well and made me feel at home at the GWS Community Center. And isn't community what it is all about? Please bring Lew back. Thank you.

Whomever made the decision to terminate lew grant did so with no consideration of the impact that it would have on our hockey community. It a strong and and demanding community. Due in huge part to lew. His release will certainly affect the quality of experience, and satisfaction this community come enjoy and demand. Lew should be brought back. We all may not play on the same team, or see eye to eye, but I know that we all can agree Lew in needed, and wanted back.

As a customer of the Glenwood Community Center Hockey rink both for myself and my son I have always felt Lew provided exceptional and professional service. I oppose his separation and feel the decision is a reflection of poor leadership.

Lew is a great manager!!!

Lew as always been handcuffed by his bosses with rules and regulations that make little sense with increasing revenue and participation. Lew has done a great job consider all the BS he has to put up with!
