My name is Lora, I’m 18 and I live in Serbia. Hockey is not a popular sport here, which often surprises people when I tell them it is my greatest passion. For me, the game is more than just competition: it is about speed, precision, and the adrenaline that fills the rink. I play in a local amateur league, where conditions are modest but the atmosphere is inspiring. Every practice challenges me with sprints, drills, and teamwork, and each match reminds me why I love this sport so much. Hockey has taught me discipline, resilience, and the value of supporting others on and off the ice. I dream of studying abroad, perhaps in Canada or Sweden, where hockey is deeply rooted in culture and opportunities to grow as a player are greater. Even though the path ahead will not be easy, I know that with dedication I can reach new levels. On the ice, I always feel that my goals are worth chasing.
