I still remember the first time I met Coach Anton. I was only five years old, and we were in Switzerland at the time. I had just started playing hockey, and even though I could barely stand properly on my skates, Anton already treated me like a real player. He was patient, encouraging, and made every practice fun. That first meeting left a big impression on me.
Since then, I’ve had the chance to work with Anton many times over the years, and he has played a huge role in my development as a hockey player. Every time we train together, I feel myself improving — not only in my skating, shooting, and passing, but also in the way I understand the game and how I can control my emotions during difficult games.
Some of my best memories are from the two international tournaments in Riga that I played under his guidance. Those experiences were unforgettable — playing with teammates from different countries, learning new tactics, and feeling the excitement of representing something bigger than myself.
Every year, I try to join a few of Anton’s hockey camps. They’re always a great addition to what I learn with my club, the Corsaires de Dunkerque. The camps push me to go further, refine my skills, and keep my love for the game alive.
Thank you, Coach Anton, for believing in me from the very beginning and for helping me grow — both as a player and as a person.
