The are getting two of our best.

Jolie made it her mission; she wanted to work in hockey. She interned in the Nashville Predators’ community relations office last summer and spent her senior year doing game-day sales and events coordination with the Providence Bruins.

Both of these talented young women have big things ahead of them and we are so proud they represent us. Keep after it, ladies! We are always here for you.
