Presidents message

This past weekend I had the honour of becoming the third President of the ISBHF. I believe that as a player and coach I have always strived to play ball hockey in a skilled and team way. Now I have a chance to work with all the great leaders of our sport throughout the World who love the game like we all do. I met some great people in Paris. And I would like to thank the representatives of all our member nations who voted me in on behalf of ball hockey players around the World. This is an honour I will handle with the honesty and hard work that made me a successful player and coach. I want to share the main keys that I will strive to work with my fellow board members to make this game better around the World.

JUNE 22/11 (end of day) BRATISLAVA, SVK – Now that the opening festivities and ceremonial responsibilities are done, we get to the part of the tournament I enjoy the most. By the third day, teams have settled into this new environment, players become more focused and disciplined, and the entertainment of the matches heightens. Nations jockey for position setting up the playoff rounds through days three to five. The game scores become closer, and all teams feel they are in the hunt. The great matches of yesterday and today reflected that.
