Guest Jennifer Park is a parent of two athletes and was part of the coordinating committee for U18 female atlantic hockey tournament hosted here in April. She says there are barriers for girls. Summer Mosher is a former NL baseball player and current coach for Corner Brook Minor Baseball. She says it was hard to leave high school friends who also played baseball.
