Sports. A wide variety of communities built into a fundamental piece of culture. Hockey. A Canadian dream that allows for people to cheer, rejoice, and bask in the hopes of passion and desire in the sports industry. Hockey is a sport that allows for communities to flourish in a way like no other. Hockey brings people together. Hockey is hope. Inside the sports industry, there are many jobs to be done when telling the stories of sports and who is behind all those stories, sports journalists. Sports journalists have a front row seat of all there is to be told about sports.
Sara Westerholm has a dream. Her dream is to work in sports. She wants to tell the stories of the athletes and their fans. She wants to be able to tell both sides of the story, as everyone’s voice deserves to be heard. Everyone should have someone or something to rely on, whether its your family, friends or a sport, like hockey.
Hockey is a community that will never go away. Hockey is what brought Sara her love of sports and her dream to work in the industry.
