John LaMarra

I am from the Delco area right outside of Philly. I am a graduate of Temple University and have worked in Center City for the past 6 years. I am avid sports fan and consider myself 4 for 4. I never miss a period, inning or quarter of a game. The Flyers have a special place a top the 4 for 4 list for me though because hockey was my first love. I have played the game since I was 7 and watched it since birth. Hockey is life.
