Hockey Program Research Paper

When we moved to West Chester I and my dad wanted to join a program that was like the one in North Carolina. The only problem was is that the programs in West Chester weren't really that big at the time we moved up here so we were able to dive right back into the program. In my sophomore year of high school I got a job at ice line where I worked as skate rental and as a public skate rink grad.
