First, I gotta say I love the Anthology idea. I hope there’s a PT to reflect on your time on the site as a whole.

Anyways...

The first time Corey Thomas Carragher put on skates, it didn’t actually end up going very well. He was slipping and falling left and right. Not exactly the auspicious start that some hockey players have even in their toddler years. He wasn’t a naturally gifted hockey player. But that is ok. If there is one thing he knew from a young age, though, it was resilience. He had a lot of stuff thrown at him at a young age and it taught him how to be strong and how to be a fighter. He knew that if he put his head to it and kept grinding, he could reach the stars. The possibilities were endless, and once he honed his craft even further, the skill just began to take off. He was around 8 years old when he knew that his future was in hockey, and from there, the dream was closer to becoming a reality.
