Field Trip review by Boomer123

Boomer123

Ben Duffy plays hockey on a travel team so he doesn't have a lot of time for school. He eats breathes and sleeps hockey. Ben has been getting bad grades lately and hasn't been paying much attention in school because all he can think about is hockey and wanting to be in the NHL. Now he has been invited to try out for an elite hockey academy and boarding school a few hours away. When he asks his parents about the academy they say no, and that he should be focusing more on school.
