A major opportunity is that the area is seemingly going through a renaissance, with many young people moving in and many small businesses opening up. This resurgence of the local economy could potentially be huge for a small team as they could position themselves as partners of the local business community and offer up their facilities for events in the community such as the chamber of commerce. There is also a local college, which presents a huge opportunity to the Nor’easters.

It’s a balmy Saturday night, which makes the noise of the crowd hang in the air like a thick soup. You stand in the pack sizing up your opponents, shifting from one skate to the other in anticipation. Like a general before battle, your team captain issues a silent speech in a code of nods and glances. You feel your muscles tense in the seconds before the whistle blows, and then you’re off.
