News from USA: Oliver Cedric

Ztec has taken time to interview 2 of our players who are currently in USA. This is the interview between Ztec (Z) and Oliver Cedric (OC)

Z: How was your trip there and how are u settling down at the moment?

OC: The trip here was long and very tiring. It was a hassle transiting in so many different airports...! And, not to mention, I almost missed my connecting flight to Oklahoma from Chicago. Was stranded in Japan due to a delayed flight. But overall, the experience has thought me a lot. Flying so far from home for the first time and being alone, really gives you time with your thoughts. Overall, I had smooth flights throughout my journey... Ask Jeremy about his experience.. SCARY..!

Z:The league in penang has ended, how did u team 8cers performed in the league? Any words of encouragement to this team?

OC:The saddest thing about the league ending is exactly that, IT HAS ENDED! I had such a great time playing and competing that i dreaded the end of it. The league ending also meant it was close to my departure. So yeah, it was a sad thing that the league ended on all levels. 8cers were AWESOME! We went over our objective, we intended to score 50 goals throughout the league, and we beat that, so i would say we did very well. I'm seriously PROUD of you guys, we played as a team and we eventually won as a team.. And that, my friends, is the crucial factor of victory.! ONE TEAM, ONE PASSION! Keep it up people.. More to come..!!

Z: 33 goals out of the 53 goals has been scored between you, Jo Wyee and Ter Min. How do u think your absence will affect the attacking line?

OC: Well, Praise God that the I performed well and was able to contribute. I feel that the team will be able to press on. There is no doubt there. We are a team. And there is no single, star player in Ztec. Although I hope that i'll be missed (I REALLY HOPE SO GUYS! :P), I know in my heart that the members of Ztec will train to be the best that they can be, and they will cover my absence well. Who knows, there might be another "Oliver" lurking around in training. =] So Team, continue to train. Ter Min, Daniel Cheah and Jo Wyee, continue to coach them. And yes, Ztec will live on.!

Z:Who do you think was the best player in the league? (can be any position)

OC: Best Player....... me?? lol.. Nah.. Just kidding. Well, as for best player in the team, I think it should go to Jeremy Yeap. His brilliant stunts, control and his dedication to lead the team with pointers and strategies have really inspired me to be a better player. I've played floorball for more than 5 years, and with Jeremy around, I still learn a lot. Stuff i never knew, and also stuff I THOUGHT i knew. So yes, in my book, Jerm should get best player for Ztec in this league.

Z: Lastly, any words of encouragement to the players in Ztec?

OC: Well, first and foremost, I just want to say that I miss you guys, and I miss training with you. It's not easy being thousands of miles away, not even having my floorball stick to even train (Dumb customs).But I will find a way to train and when I return, I shall hope to be at least a lil better. Jeremy is in the room beside mine, so i guess I can bug Him to train me every now and then. LOL! But seriously guys, I can honestly say that there is no team out there like Ztec, the bond we have in unbreakable, the spirit we have, uncrushable, the passion we have for the game, unspeakable, there are just no words to decribe Ztec, other than............ Family. You guys are the best. Keep in up and train your hardest. I've given some goals to reach to some of the players. And I hope you can reach them. This is to the entire Ztec. Play HARD, play SMART, and above all.... Have fun.. That's where our strength truly lies. We are GOOD individually, but we are GREAT together. So train your best, and play your best. I'll be cheering you on from here. Semangat Ztec, and God Bless...


Ztec wishes Oliver and Jeremy the best of luck in their future in the USA and hope to see them back soon.

News from USA: Jeremy Yeap

Ztec has taken time to interview 2 of our key players who are currently in the USA. This is an interview between Ztec (Z) and Jeremy Yeap (JY).


Z: How does it feel to be back in the USA?

JY: Mixed feelings. Good because I'm away from the haze and humidity. The air is fresher here. Bad because coming back means holidays are over and it's all back to study, work and more study!!! The worst is there's no more floorball and even if there is, it is mostly played by myself and perhaps together with my dog.

Z:The league in penang has ended, how did u team 8cers performed in the league? Any words of encouragement to this team?

JY:I think the team did a great job and we manage to hit all our targets and goals set for the league. However, I do believe that we could have done better if players could train together more and know each other's style of play more. Ztec might have won the league, but that's not something BIG to shoutout because Ztec will only and always be Ztec unless everyone train harder TOGETHER as a team and beat ourselves then only can we move up to the next level and make a difference in the floorball arena. Winning the league is a road block for the team. That's perhaps the furthest we can go. BUT, we can go beyond it if EVERONE in Ztec can work together by playing together as a unit and dare to be different than others. Thus, let us all go a distance together and be a history maker in floorball.

Z:7 goals conceded in 5 games for Ztec. How do u feel about this? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

JY:Well, Coach Termin's target was 8 and my target for the team was 10. So, I guess we've hit our target. I felt that we did pretty well because we focused alot on scoring and many times we only played with one defender, but yes, we could have done better. simply because some of the goals conceded was really a give away goal by our defenders and goalkeeper. Those goals shouldn't have gone in at all, but crappy stuff does happen sometimes. Nevertheless, I would say it happened for a good cause for the team because it enabled the team to learn what not to do in the future. If mistakes wasn't done, then I believe there won't be any lesson to learn anymore.

Z: How far can this Ztec8cers team go in terms of achievements?

JY:Like I've said, winning the league could be a road block for the team because what more can you get after being 1st? 1st is 1st. Everyone wants and aims to be 1st. Is there anyone out there aiming for ZERO? Thus, i would say that it's really difficult for Ztec8cers to improve and go far after this. Unless we all come back down to earth and aim for something else, which is to develope a team of new breed that can play beautifully together as a team and not individually.

Z:Lastly, any words of encouragement to the players in Ztec?

JY:There's only TWO things that could happen to you. Number one is to let others be better than you and defeat you or number two, train harder and defeat yourself. I choose number two. What about you?

Hawks Gunned Down by Young Guns

It was the last game of the match and both teams were eager to prove a point in this final match. Ztec with the title almost in hand were going all out to reach the target set by their coach. For the hawks, they have nothing to lose and were determined to give 8cers a tough time. 8cers were with full strength welcoming back #10 Joon Han after his 2 games absence and captain #6 Oliver Cedric.

Ztec started the match sharp with their captain, Oliver being the first on the score sheet. Jo-Wyee followed soon after with an assist from Sjaiful. The hawks were launching long balls from the back towards their speedy forwards who were working out 8cers defenders all night.

However, Ztec showed why they were champions by consistently scoring with Oliver netting in more than 5 goals for the team. Moy Wei Sern was also on form netting in 3 goals, Termin scored 5, Jo-Wyee got 2 goals while Jun Wooi and Daniel each got one goal.

Minden Unihawks got themself a consolation with JJ scoring from a near range after a pass in by their national defender Christopher.

The final score was Ztec8cers 18, Minden Unihawks 1.
