'It hit me really hard': Nearly a week after being traded from the Wings, Theresa Plaisance bids emotional farewell to fans
Summary
They made me feel like I was the best player in the whole league," Plaisance said while fighting back tears in a phone interview with The Dallas Morning News. "It’s just a testament to the people that the Dallas Wings fans are and I cannot thank them enough for all the love and support they’ve shown me over these last couple years and I’m going to miss them a lot." The trade made sense for the Wings as they netted the ninth overall pick in this years draft in Kristine Anigwe. The people, the fans, everybody around the Dallas Wings organization has always treated me so special and not being able to say goodbye and just kind of having to up and leave like that was really hard for me." I felt weird putting on orange for the first time, but I’ve heard from a few family members I don’t look so bad in it," Plaisance said.
