Owen Zeager gives back to where it all began for him

Many of our players give back to the great program hosted by our friends at the Hershey Figure Skating Club called, Hershey Twizzles, a therapeutic skating program designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities and developmental challenges. But for Owen Zeager it is extra special as it has come full circle for him. He began in the program and this upcoming season Owen will be the starting goalie for the PeeWee (12u) Hershey Jr Bear travel team. We applaud Owen and his willingness to give back and we encourage all to help with this amazing program.

Owen was featured on the Channel 8 news and you can view the story below.
