I played hockey in our village Pizhanka I played hockey in our village Pizhanka. We met with teams from different regions . Our team won prizes.

Only real men play hockey! To my mind, hockey made my body strong, it prevented me from getting too fat , made me more self-organized ,better disciplined . Hockey was the perfect way for emotional release. Unfortunately, I haven’t got an opportunity to play my favourite game. I like watching games on TV. Ice-hockey is one of the most spectacular sports of Winter Olympics.

Dreams about my future hobbies… If I have more time, I will continue playing ice-hockey. If I have more time , I will swim every day. If I have more time and money, of course, I will travel around the world. If I have more time, I will do windsurfing. If I have more time, I will do karate.
