A letter from the OSHIE family:
Dear Friends & Family:
May 13th, 2008, marked a memorable day for T.J. Oshie, the Oshie
Family, Seattle Junior Hockey Association, Warroad HS Warriors
Hockey and the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux.
T.J. signed his first professional contract with the St. Louis Blues
organization. T.J., along with his agent, Matt Oates and Blues
President, John Davidson, were part of the signing group assembled
at the ScottTrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
A very special thanks goes out to Tina Oshie, Taylor Oshie and Tawni
Oshie for all the years of running to the arena's throughout North
America. The support and time you've given to T.J. as a mother,
brother and sister is unparalleled. Hockey seems to bring our
family closer together even when the 1,800 miles separates us. And
to Aleah Oshie-Hangsleben, for always supporting her big brother at
the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
Also, to the entire Oshie Family from Everett, WA; Stanwood, WA;
Warroad, MN; Bemidji, MN, Minneapolis, MN, and abroad, thank you for
your support over the years.
The Oshie Family would like to personally thank these incredible

mentorship and leadership to T.J. Oshie:

Beadle Family, SJHA; Cary Eades, Warroad HS / UND Fighting Sioux;
