2018.03.06. 18:07 |

After the U14 age group had their day with the cup it was the U13 that was competing for the legendary silver trophy. The enthusiasm both from the players and the guest coaches had carried over from the day before.

The games were unbelievable as the young kids tried to play within the system and concepts that they were taught by the coaching staff. The players that have participated in the U13 development program throughout the year were called back in for the one day tournament.

The players are split up into eight teams with ehac team having a guest coach who had come through the youth system under the direction of Glen Williamson.

The Vadlovak had got past the Farkasok in the finals to secure the MetoKupa. The U13 age group had a number of talented players on all of the team that were competing hard for the trophy. The players where also put through physical and mental tests as well with the top teams getting awards as well, along with the overall MVP and best goalie being recognized as well.

Márk Szaller, guest coach: This was a really great experience for me, I was able to work with a number of great young players. This has been a great program by the Hungarian youth development system that the young players are competing against each other. Us guest coaches were responsible for the 16-18 players on the team. It was fun and tiring but we can also learn a lot, I want to thank Glen Williamson for inviting me to be a coach.

Dániel Kornakker, guest coach: I saw a number of great things, we were not concentraining the tactics as much since this was more about the kids than us. I personally asked my team to do one thing at that was to score goals and to have fun out there. It was interesting to see hockey from a coaches point of view instead of the players. I also learned a lot, i learned not to be as emotional as I am as a player. There were a number of young goalies who I was jealous of because they could take a real run at my position in net. Really all of the goalies moved well but what I really noticed was how well they play the puck, this is something that might be the biggest difficulty that we have at the older age groups.
