“One of my greatest achievements so far has been getting into HIFK Academy and the camps of the national team’s Leijonapennut for three years now. In the future, I want to play for the women’s national team. My training schedule is pretty strict as the demands are high. When my everyday life feels busy due to school and hockey, my room becomes an important place to rest and relax by listening to music or watching Netflix.”

“Because of COVID-19, I went from having hockey practice five times a week to training at home. My schedule has also included independent training by jogging, strength training and doing staircase workouts at the nearby sports park Tekis, also known as Taka-Wembley.

My friends are important to me and I go to Tekis with them to play football, tennis and basketball. Luckily, my ice hockey confirmation camp in Kuortane this summer included lots of time slots at the ice rink, so I was finally able to put on my skates.”

“Until last year, I also played football as a goalkeeper. I had to drop football as I only had enough time for my favourite sport, ice hockey. The rest of my family also has various hobbies and we’re always out and about. Sometimes, though, we all have time to be home at the same time, which is when we like to gather on our living room sofa.”
