WHY BE SATISFIED WITH BRONZEMEDALS
My name is Olaf Eller, I have been involved in hockey for 40 years, as a player and as a coach.
I am a level 3 coach. Educated in the Swedish Icehockey Federation System.
I have won medals as a player as well as a coach.
I look forward to the challenge to win new medals with the national team of Iceland.
Iceland as a hockeynation has been climbing over the past years. To take new steps, you, and eaxctly you have to take new steps to make the national team stronger.
To make improvements countabel I have together with the league coaches and the board decided,,to make a test system for the Iceland Icehockey.
The tests will take place in December, March, May and August. It will give you the chance to improve from December to March.
In this way the whole team will improve, which is the basic for new steps for the Iceland Icehockey.
When I was visiting Iceland in the end of november I saw a lot of power and good attitude from players , coaches and leaders, lets build on that .
Medio March we will run the first camp for the senior national team for 25 players and 3 goalies on our travel to WC in Croatia
As we all know it is not a vacation-trip. It requires your outmost in two weeks. And it is each and every one of you.
Be physically prepared
I hope you are ready to take the challange,
