My brother started to play ice hockey around 15 years ago, he was a goalie too and I always watched his games and trainings. Well it was boring just to watch them and when 13years ago a guy’s parent asked me to try it with the younger starters I said “ OK” since then I fell in love with it .

When I started to play I already did fitness for 2 years which meant for a short time I did fitness and played hockey as well, and then I chose hockey J

3. Question: Your most important Victory ?
When I was in Canada with the Hungarian U12 (boy) Team and there was a competition for goalies. There were 26 goalies from all over the world. I won the competiton and I got a big cup . I was very happy because I was the only girl from the 26 goalies and no one believed that I could do it J

4. Question: If you are not on the ice, what occupation do you have ?
I still go to school and I spend most of my free time on ice but when I have time I like being with my friends and go to have a party with them.

5. Question: Which objektives (sport and business) do you have ?
Since I came back from Sweden I play in the 3. Men league in Hungary this means I do not play with the girls just when we have programmes with the national team.Well I have not finished my studies and I may apply to a university in the USA where I would like to play ice-hockey as well.

Yes in the season 2007/2008 I lived in Memmingen and I played in ECDC Memmingen Indians .I played in Schüler and Jugend teams, I really enjoyed that season in Germany.

7. Question: In your opinion, who is the best goaltender oft the world ?
I love Martin Brodeur , he is an amazing goalie.From women goalies I have already trained with Kim Martin (SWE) and in Memmingen with Jennifer Harss J and I really admire them.

8. Question: Tell us something about the women Hockey in your Country.
This year we played at the div III. championship where we won the bronz medal. The Australians won the 2^nd place . Actually the game between Hungary and Australia was only 0-1 which shows that we were really close to them. Next year we would like to win the divIII championship and then take part in the upper division. We have some very talented young players and we are waiting for them to spend th 16^th year when they can participate in the world championship. Well Hungarian Women Hockey has developed a lot and still developing the only problem that we have not enough sponsors and money to have more opportunities.

Thank you very much for this friendly interview. We wish you all the best.
