Dragi hokejski navdušenci!
Z velikim ponosom in iskrenim veseljem vas ponovno pozdravljam v Zalogu, kjer bomo skupaj ustvarjali novo poglavje mednarodne hokejske zgodbe za naše najmlajše. Čaka nas še en U8 in U9 Mednarodni hokejski turnir HK Slavija Jr.
V našem klubu že vrsto let gradimo okolje, v katerem otroci ne razvijajo le hokejskih veščin, temveč tudi vrednote, ki jih bodo spremljale vse življenje: vztrajnost, spoštovanje, ekipni duh in pogum. Danes Slavija Jr. združuje številne mlade športnike, ki s pomočjo predanih trenerjev vsak dan rastejo, in to kot igralci in kot posamezniki.
Posebno mesto v našem delovanju imajo prav najmlajši. Njihovi prvi koraki na ledu, prve podaje, prvi zadetki in tudi prvi padci so tisti trenutki, ki ustvarjajo temelje za prihodnost. Prav zato so tovrstni turnirji neprecenljivi, saj otrokom ponujajo priložnost, da okusijo pravo tekmovalno vzdušje, se preizkusijo v igri, predvsem pa uživajo v hokeju.
Izjemno nas veseli, da turnir povezuje mlade hokejiste iz različnih držav. Letos bodo na ledu znova pokazali, kako šport presega meje – z borbenostjo, spoštovanjem in iskreno otroško strastjo do igre. Ob tem bodo lahko stkali nova prijateljstva in ustvarili spomine, ki bodo ostali za vedno.
Spoštovani starši, navijači in podporniki, hvala, ker ste del te zgodbe. S svojim zgledom in navijanjem ustvarjate okolje, v katerem otroci čutijo podporo in motivacijo. Navijajmo glasno, a spoštljivo, in skupaj pokažimo, kaj pomeni pravi športni duh.
Dragi hokejisti: uživajte v vsakem trenutku na ledu. Igrajte s srcem, bodite ponosni nase in na svojo ekipo.
Se vidimo ob robu igrišča!
S športnimi pozdravi,
Igor Končina
Predsednik HK Slavija Jr.
Dear Hockey Enthusiasts!
With great pride and sincere joy, I warmly welcome you back to Zalog, where together we will create a new chapter in the international hockey story for our youngest players. Another U8 and U9 International Ice Hockey Tournament HK Slavija Jr. lies ahead of us.
For many years, our club has been building an environment where children not only develop hockey skills, but also values that will accompany them throughout their lives: perseverance, respect, team spirit, and courage. Today, Slavija Jr. brings together many young athletes who, with the support of dedicated coaches, grow every day—both as players and as individuals.
The youngest players hold a special place in our club. Their first steps on the ice, first passes, first goals, and even their first falls are the moments that lay the foundations for the future. That is why tournaments like this are invaluable—they give children the opportunity to experience true competition, test themselves in the game, and above all, enjoy hockey.
We are especially proud that this tournament brings together young hockey players from different countries. Once again, they will show how sport transcends borders—through determination, respect, and a genuine passion for the game. Along the way, they will build new friendships and create memories that will stay forever.
Dear parents, supporters, and fans—thank you for being part of this story. Through your example and encouragement, you create an environment where children feel supported and motivated. Let us cheer loudly, but respectfully, and together show what true sportsmanship means.
Dear hockey players: enjoy every moment on the ice. Play with your hearts, and be proud of yourselves and your team.
See you at the rink!
Regards,
Igor Končina
President of HK Slavija Junior
