Tuesday June 5th, 2007

Today I finished up my interview piece, and I am going to interview my coach, Howard Smith. I'm interview him because he is an expert in coaching along with Hockey in the Hood. I have yet to set up an interview date with coach but I may do it over email or phone due to the fact we live on the opposite sides of town.

Friday 6/1/07

So on Friday, I was not in class due to a Funeral, from what I hear, I have an assignment due today, Monday, so I will now work on it today and upload it tonight atleast.

Over the weekend however, I was reading my USA hockey magazine and there was an article about diversity programs so I ripped it out and I'm using it as a minor resource but am going to research it more in class today.
