So for my idea of doing the graduation project is to coach hockey to younger kids. I wanted to do this topic because I want to get kids my age to get more involved with the community and basically what I'm hoping to do is to work in a group called "Hockey in the Hood". Hockey in the Hood is ice time sponsered by the Pittsburgh Penguins that allows less fortunate kids or kids who want to play and get expierence along with experience diversity to be able to have a chance to play. The pro's about doing this project is that the ice time is free, it runs almost year round, and most importantly it keeps kids off the streets and developes them into mature young people.
There really isn't a con for this project because just about everything going down to helping kids out and teaching them how to play along with teaching them to be mature and self discipline is something i really want to do my project on. I have actually been with Hockey in the Hood since my freshman year of ice hockey and my coach actually runs it so i can use him as one of my major references.

Kory, I really like this idea. Hockey in the Hood seems like a great program. Also, you can do your background research on how organized sports helps improve the lives of youth, especially at-risk teens.
