THE MIHF PRESIDENT'S CUP NATIONAL ICE HOCKEY LEAGUE

The much awaited finals for the MIHF President's Cup National Ice Hockey League began with a demo from the 'Learn to Play' program. Held today, Saturday 13 December 2008 at Sunway Pyramid Ice, the students from the hockey school showcased their skills to the crowd under the direction of the coaches, Ahmad Bazli and Gary Tan.

First up was the Division 3 game. With the drop of the puck, an estimated crowd of 3,000 fans and parents lined around the rink to watch. With the season title already wrapped up, Metro Stars once again reinforced their winning ways against the Dexion Wildcubs. Awards were handed out by Mr Frank Johnstone of Dexion Asia.

Next was the Division 2 game. The challenge had been brewing since the first game of the season, and the culmination was played out on the ice. The Warriors held on to prevail as Division 2 champions. MIHF's Deputy President, Encik Haniff Dato Mahmood was on hand to present the players with the trophies.

Last but not least, the Division 1 players from KL Cobras and Asian Tigers - B took the ice. The intensity was palpable, and the game was fueling the crowd's reaction. The battles around the boards, and at open ice, kept everyone on the edge. When the final whistle sounded, KL Cobras stood as the victors. For their spoils, Dato Lee Hwa Beng, President of MIHF presented them with the President's Cup and a well-deserved congratulations.

Hoki

Last Friday adalah game terakhir sebelum final...uhhhh....
Rekod league kitorang adalah dasyat..D8..sebab last league kitorang (Team Warriors) 2 kali menang yang lain sume kalah.....Tapi league kali ni, 1 kalah, 1 seri , yg lain menang...D8

Prestasi aku btol2 dah menurun selepas aku jatoh pengsan kene puck....aku jadi cam org yg tau skate tapi tak tau men hoki

kk...last 2 fridays...team aku terlebih konfiden..aku mmg dah agk bende ni akan terjadi dan aku tersangat hepi..lol....dlm game ni, aku dilanggar 4 kali head on kat tempat yang same (dada) oleh org yg same...pas abes game aku terus jatuh....nak bangun tak boleh....biler bangun je jatuh tak pening...pelik btol...degupan jantong aku jadi tak seragam.....


last friday, game terakhir..coach marah sebab...bler buadak yang berumur 14 tahun tak der dalam team, trus kalah? BTW...semuanya goal yg dimasukkan oleh pihak lawan, sumenye goal saat2 akhir...masuk je goal,time habis....D8!!

kali ni mak aku datang tengok aku main....aku rase sangat2 la bersemangat...[klau orang yg ko ske sorakkan ko utk main lagi bagus...ko akan main lagi teruk sebab ko nak showoff kat dier...tapi bler org yang ko sayang sorakkan ko utk ko main lagi bagus ko akan jadi lebih hebat sebab dier adalah nyawa ko]

aku ade minum protein atau bende alah yang ridzuan/ida/paez kate susu tu seblom main.....
resultnye..aku jadi btol aggressive + lagi mak aku tengok aku main....hhuhuhuhu tapi yang aku tak puas hati...aku tak intention cam atlet lain...intention to 'kill' somebody....

MGA..

MGA...Malam gemilang Aidil adha....
hmmmm.....performance, boleh la...banyak menyanyi.Aku ske yang pompuan second tu...sebab suare dier best...

Makanan...RM15..berbaloi la...aku denga aku dapat t-shirt tapi tak dapat2 pon...PAEZ!!!!baju aku!!!

Get More Serious!!

AHH!!~ National Team selection cam sial jer semalam (ahad,30 nov 2008) register start kul 7.30,test start kul 8.00pm....uhh...basic skating,puck handling,stamina.....itu yang dorang test untuk tahun ni.....tak macam tahun lepas...ader test untuk positioning lam game...judge pon bertambah 2 orang....huh....

I Give My Best for the selection although I know I won't be selected for the team....

Selection test
1st: Skate...
Forward stride and backward stride
balancing
Acceleration and stopping
Switching forward to backward skating and hockey gliding
Crossing over forward and backward

This is my best thing to do I guess because I like to skate and I find it quite easy..hmm , but i forgot to sharpen my skate...lol....

2nd:puck handling
Full arm extention
Puck handling through small cones
Puck handling through big cone(hockey gliding)

Stick/Puck handling is my worst thing I've ever do as I play as defenceman and i didn't get much time to hold the puck and play with it.Everytime I get the puck (in game) the coach just love to yell at me "Get it off your stick!!","Pass it, pass it!!"

3rd:Shooting
Wrist Shot (Drag for Field hockey)
Snap Shot (Tap for Field hockey
Slap Shot (Hit for Field hockey)
Backhand Shot (same for Field hockey)

Well, This time around I satisfied with myself as I see improvement in strength...not accuracy..My technic is much better than last year

4th:Stamina, Timing and Fatigue (also determination I think)
The last and the most tiring of all test...

they record your time and torture your until you're half dead and then they ask you to do it again for 2 more times....God!! I love and I hate this drill/test...
I managed to maintain my overall speed..1st 2 sets i got 2nd place and the last set I got 1st place which it isnt bad at all...


Overall summary.....aku tulis dlm bahaser omputeh sebab br habes kelas inggeris

Get Serious Or At Least Die Trying

Arrr!! Rupe2nye coach aku tak kasi main tu adalah helah mak aku semata2...lol....

Ari jumaat ari tu....mase aku sampai sunway aku terkejut sebab ader beberape kamera kat atas ice rink.....D8..!!

Shooting utk astro ceria lol.....err at least itu la yg aku dengar....hehe...dpt la jugak menyampuk sebagai pengadil....

pas aku abes jadi pengadil aku relax arr jap tgk game team aku lwn....urrr....coach aku marah.....suruh aku gear up, main game tuh....dier nampak upset setiap kali aku tak main atau sesuatu terjadi kat aku....(penting sgt ke aku ni?)
huhu...mak aku tgk aku main game...(tak der bende yg paling happy dlm idup aku selain mk aku dtg tgk aku main game..)

Mk aku kate aku ade improvement..ntah improve aper....tp aku tau satu bende jer...aku dpt agk org nk wat ape...so, lwn aku tak leh lari atau wat bende bodoh ngan aku.....

Ahad(hari malang):
