Transylvania, Miskolc, Budapest, Amsterdam, Lake Placid
The World University Winter Games will be held in the United States, January 12-22. between Lake Placid hosts the multisport event. After the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics, the city in the state of New York will once again host a prestigious international competition. A larger Hungarian team of more than fifty members will participate in the university competition. This is primarily due to the fact that the men’s ice hockey team won the right to participate based on the entry submitted at the beginning of last year, which will be represented again at the army review after 2019.
They do everything
Sports of Hungarian interest: alpine skiing, short track speed skating, long track speed skating, figure skating, ice dancing, ice hockey. Márton Vas, the national hockey team captain, invited three athletes from Miskolc to our team. Bálint Pecsét won the right to be sent as a third-year student at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
“I’m studying economics and management at the Faculty of Economics and Management, and I have to pass one more exam in order to pass the semester,” said the soon-to-be twenty-two-year-old forward, who plays in his club’s jersey number 16, to the DVTK Jegesmedvék team in the Erste Liga, who met them at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, before the transfer away. “I haven’t been overseas yet, this will be my first ocean flight,” he said at the end of the line, then added: “I like flying, but I’m a little nervous.” Of course, I follow the events of American hockey at home, for me as a player, this is mandatory homework. And over there, I’ll be taking a close look at the NHL games and rounds. As for the Winter University World Games: we have not yet spoken about the expectations of the professional management, it is of course obvious even without this that we will do everything in order to perform the best there is.
When asked why he did not miss his team’s Transylvania-Szekelyföld tour, which he completed a few days ago, he answers:
“Because I needed to, that is, the professional management needed me.” I played two, so I’m not tired, anyway I have a few more days to adjust to the world tournament.
