The final South African National Women’s Ice Hockey Team has being named and as my subject says it is 78 days or 1883 hours until our first game against Korea. I have been skating so much to get ready for this and now that my exam is over I am committing as much time as is needed to preparing for this tournament both on and off the ice. I’m going to go out with a bang………..this years tournament is 14 years in the making. I don’ t think words can fully explain how excited I am for this tournament, sure I have been pumped for every tourney but this year seems different for some reason!!!
The team list is below, I really hope that everyone back home is working as hard as they can to be ready for this. I am also looking forward to meeting the roughly 7 rookies on the team this year!!! Let’s go ladies, we got this!!!!
