Ztec Interview: Termin #39

What winning the PFL Div 1 2010 meant to you...

It is a very great feeling for me as a captain and the coach of the team. We worked very hard right till the last game and of the league and you must give credit to this team. I think they were well rewarded with this trophy. It means a lot to me as this year’s league was much tougher than last year.

Of being written off before the league began...

I think many people predicted that this year’s league trophy will be Innebandy! Co’s because of the strength and depth of their team. We were surely getting a lot of ‘feedbacks’ and ‘talks’ around saying that we have no match against them and we will be getting thrash by them so I think this partly gave us motivation to fight harder and train even harder.

Best player in the league...

Without a doubt is Jun Wooi from Ztec Phoenix. Being a more experience and tougher player this year he surely defended very well at the back as well as very efficient in building up the attack and supplying the balls to the forwards. He was also one of the few players in the league who gave 110% in every game. He truly deserve the all star award.

Ztec Phoenix...

This team is maturing at a very fast pace. If u look back at the team I think many have forgotten that 7 out of 13 players played in Div 2 floorball last year. That is more than half of the team. I would say our strength is the attacking line so we really focus on the attacking side of the game which made us concede quite a large number of goals. If u look at the age of this team I think there is much to come from them.

Ztec8cers...

‘WOW’. The first word that came to my mind when thinking of this team. These guys surprised many in the league. Many sees this team as the weakest team in the league but they proved their doubter wrong by a very good start in the league. Although without any national players I think this team fought very bravely and always fought right to the final whistle.

The gap left by Jo-Wyee and Oliver...

Two very important forwards left us for studies which will surely affect the team’s attacking game. This 2 players have a very high influence on the younger players. With the departure of this 2 players it will surely slow down Ztec’s attacking game. However if u look to the bright side, with the departure of these players, the younger players can step up to fight for their spot in the first team which will give a good competition inside the club.

Jersey number (39)...

This number(39) is the date where my grandfather passed away. The 30^th Sept .

Most memorable moment in the league...

Final whistle of the Ztec Phoenix vs Innebandy! Co match. Becuase i knew we would have a good chance to win the league with that result.

Where will Ztec go from here...

We will work harder to improve ourselves as a team and focus on the defensive side of the game which is our main weakness. We will surely come back stronger next year with the young player emerging and some of the older players coming back to play for Ztec.

Sharing The Glory : Phoenix VS Innebandy Co!

The day has finally come, 10th of august, the day that all penang floorballers were looking forward to. The clash of the titans, Ztec and Innebandy's finest facing off in what some might say the best match of the league or maybe even the year. The deciding match between who clinches the cup and the gold medal. 8pm Balik Pulau stadium, where all the action happened. The stands were filled with players from different clubs supporting and cheering both teams on court.

Even the warm up felt intense as players were nervous and excited to be playing the biggest game this year. After warming up, we huddled up and our coaches gave us some motivation and inspirational talk. The moment we've all been waiting for, the whistle blew and the game began. Some people might have predicted that the game would have been very slow and safe because 1st place was on the line. But, both teams started fast and furious. Going head to head for every ball, giving 100%. It was Innebandy who broke the deadlock via Nicholes Ong. Ztec was a bit shakened up by the early lead. But Ztec stood strong with heads held high and pressed on. Moments later got the equaliser from our very own Jo-Wyee who tapped in a rebound. Few minutes later, with the blistering speed of our very own ''nigga'' (Drew Steiert) he shrugged off the inne defender and sped away squaring in the ball for our legendary Bobby ( Ken Wye) who tapped home a simple goal. Ztec ended the 1st period leading by 2-1.

Upon resting and rejuvenating, our coaches layed out some strategies and some words of wisdom before the 2nd period began. The 2nd period began with Ztec scoring an early goal, another carbon copy of the 2nd goal by Drew and Ken Wye. Later into the game, Inne made a comeback by some defending errors from Ztec, equalising the game to 3-3 from a brace by Bryan Looi. Both teams pressed on, but there were no further goals in the 2nd period. Both teams switched sides and had a team talk respectively. Fatigue started to settle in and so did disappointment upon not playing as well as the 1st period. The coaches tried to get the team fired up by telling the team that the 3rd period was what meant the most, that it was now or never.

The refs blew their whistles signalling for the 3rd period to begin. Both teams were playing equally well, but it was Innebandy's main player Deswyn Wan who scored a superb goal straight into the top corner. Ztec was further frustrated, but we didn't give in and kept playing hard. We answered back by a goal from Jo-Wyee yet again, scoring his second of the match. But, there was still time on the clock and yet again Innebandy replied with ANOTHER goal coming by Jason assisted by Sam. The crowd was getting louder and louder, cheering their hearts out. Our main cheerleader John and Joon Han from 8cers were cheering their loudest and lost their voices (thank you guys). Ztec gave their all and fought for the equaliser , finally a break through. Who else but Jo-Wyee scored the equalising goal and the goal that tied the game up at 5-5. That's how the game ended with both teams sharing the points.

This was definitely a nail biting match and a game to remember. Ztec Phoenix fought a good fight and never gave up taking one step closer to achieving the gold medal. A special shout-out to our very own Loh Jo-Wyee, thank you for being a great coach, friend and brother to all of us, we really appreciate all you have done for us. We hope you have a safe journey to the US and all the best. Make sure you train with Jerm and come back for next years Division 1. That means you too Jerm!! Till the next match..1..2..Whooshh!! 1..2..Jo-Wyee!!

A quote from Marianne Williamson: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
