Profile
Two nicknames, one goalkeeper — he answers to both. A dedicated hockey goalkeeper known for quick reflexes and fast movement. He is at his best when the stakes are highest — the bigger the game, the calmer he gets, and that calm carries to the whole team. In the goal he is a vocal communicator throughout, organising and managing the players in front of him. More than making saves, he sees himself as a mentor and leader — committed to helping team mates and fellow goalkeepers grow.
