My name is Patrick Malone, a nineteen-year-old sophomore Sport Management student at Endicott College. My school provides an internship program that allows students to attain work experiences in the different fields and industries that apply to his or her major. Over the course of the four year education, students will complete two 120-hour internships and one semester-long internship. Students ace the opportunity to choose which season they will complete the 120-hour internships (Winter or Summer). For example, as a freshman student, I completed my first internship over Winter break at Woburn Memorial High School in the Athletic Department. Each day, I assisted Athletic Director Jim Duran in completing daily tasks and responsibilities which included scheduling games seasonally, hiring game officials, preparing away contest travel arrangements, event management, facility management, ticketing, and much more.
During the Fall season of 2015, I came across the opportunity of an internship at Stop It Goaltending. Through Endicott College's online internship database, I learned that past students had completed internships at the site. Through furthermore research, I learned that one of Stop It Goaltending's sites was conveniently located in my hometown of Woburn, Massachusetts. It was not long before I was in contact with SIG's President, Brian Daccord. Mr. Daccord is a prominent individual in the organization and has been very approachable throughout the process. He once played and coached hockey at Merrimack College. He played professionally in Switzerland for seven years and even served as the goaltending coach for the Boston Bruins. By the time Thanksgiving break came around, I had set up an interview with Mr. Daccord. The two of us stayed in contact for the next couple of weeks and before I new it, I was Stop It Goaltending's newest intern.
