🏒 Hockey Player of the Month! 🏒

Candlelite is proud to recognize Lucian Taylor, a driving force behind the Kits’ 10-1 start.

⭐ Lucian has put up 14 goals and 6 assists for 20 points so far this season. But his impact goes way beyond the scoresheet. His work ethic, competitive fire, and commitment to doing things the right way set the standard for the whole team. He leads by example every single day.

Congrats, Lucian! Your next pizza is on us. 🍕

Go Kits!! 💪
