WESLEY CHAPEL — At 9 years old, Felicity DeGracia has already mapped out her life: youth hockey, high school hockey, college hockey, Olympic hockey.
"It's a dream of mine," the fourth grader from South Tampa said of playing for Team USA.
It is a newly-formed dream. Felicity is playing her first year of ice hockey and it was not until November that she met Team USA's women's Olympic hockey team that based its pre-Olympic training at the Florida Hospital Center Ice facility off Interstate 75 in Wesley Chapel.
"They're inspiring to little girls around the world," Felicity said.
