Alyssa Gagliardi will head the program aimed at overall development
Something magical happens when a young girl feels her skates glide across the ice. She’s in control, feeling the weight of the puck against her stick. She feels the perfect syncopation of hands, feet and mind; she is one with herself. Out on the rink, she can be tough. She can play hard. She can be aggressive, graceful, agile — all at once. She can be whatever she wants to be. It doesn’t matter that the chill of the ice rink causes a rose flush across her cheeks or that she’ll have bruises on her knees from falling over and over again. There is just love of the game. Girls and women across North Carolina have that love.
