George: “My father started me skating at 5 and soon after, he gave me a stick and we played pond hockey. I have fun learning how to shoot and hockey stop. I like scoring goals. I love going to tournaments with new and old friends on the North Stars.”
Luca: “I joined the Central Park North Stars during the team’s first season in 2014, when I was 9 years old. I’ve had fun playing at our old home, Lasker Rink in Central Park, and have also enjoyed playing at our new rink at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. The North Stars have been a big part of my life over the past 10 seasons, and I have great memories of our practices, our home and away games, and all the different tournaments that we’ve played in.”
