text: Service work helps you to grow in interpersonal relationships. In my experience of going to OTHER_NAME, I made some new friends and started bonds that probably would have never started with out it. The whole team was closer together. We had to work together and communicate, to better help ourselves get the work done. Those relationships lasted throughout the next 3 seasons together. The boys, on the ice, had lasting friendships and accomplished more as a team instead of just one player. In hockey, and really any sport, you can't have the offense without defense and you need to be able to trust each other. Trust in the start of all relationships.
