On the evening of January 15, the 2022 Beijing Evening News 100 Team Cup Youth Ice Hockey Invitational Tournament began the second matchday competition. In the U12 group, the Dream Whalers, who won the first round on the opening day, won again. On the defensive line of this team, there is a calm and capable little girl, who has a dream and hopes to one day wear the chinese national team's game uniform and win glory for the country.
Heroic Zhao Feijun
This little girl in the No. 88 team uniform is named Zhao Feijun, when she was 4 years old, one day she and her family visited the blue harbor and saw a group photo of a group of children wearing hockey game uniforms, she was immediately attracted, felt particularly handsome, and wanted to try. Since then, she has been the only girl on the club team. "Our coach said, 'Put on the gear, it's all boys.'" Coaches have always treated boys and girls equally and are particularly demanding. Zhao Feijun said confidently, "But now there is a special women's team." ”
The "specialized women's team" mentioned by Zhao Feijun is the U12 women's ice hockey team in Beijing, and she is the captain of the team. "Being a captain may be more stressful and more responsible than ordinary players." "Ice hockey is a team sport, it's not a sport that can be done by one person, it needs to be applied to the whole team," she said. With ice hockey, you can make a lot of friends and experience how to work as a team. "For teamwork, Zhao Feijun has a practical experience. Once the Beijing women's team went to Xining to play the U series of matches, there were only two women's teams in the more than 30 participating teams, and the girls had to play with the boys, but in the end, the Beijing women's team was triumphant with the runner-up trophy. She said: "We don't have particularly good players in our team, it's the cooperation of the whole team to score goals. This sense of teamwork cultivated through ice hockey is also helpful in Zhao Feijun's weekday school life, because when she encounters things and difficulties, she prefers to choose to solve them in a teamwork way, and in the activities arranged by the teacher, she often becomes the leader, drives everyone and plays a role.
Teamwork requires communication, which requires the ability to make friends. Participating in ice hockey training has cultivated Zhao Feijun's ability to communicate with teammates and coaches. "Making friends will also bring them to the game, so we will be more tacit and more united." Behind the No. 88 jersey that Zhao Feijun is now wearing, there is also a story about friends. A good friend who trained together since childhood, and later for various reasons did not continue to practice, Zhao Feijun chose the number of a good friend, hoping to commemorate this friendship in this way. "If I keep playing, I will always choose this number."
Zhao Feijun and her father
Continuing to fight means that Zhao Feijun and her family still have to pay a lot. Now it takes more than an hour's drive from Zhao Feijun's Zhizhi School to the club ice rink or the Beijing team training ground. The Training of the Beijing team starts at 19:45 every day, and after 22:00 on the ice, it will drive home and go to school the next day. And because she had to represent the club and the Beijing team in the league at the weekend, she played more than others, and she was in the game and running all weekend. "It turned out that I didn't know about hockey, but now because of my daughter, I like it too." Zhao Feijun's father said, "I just drive a good car, make a good meal, and be a good backer." "Zhao Feijun's father is willing to pay for his daughter's dream, and the dream in Zhao Feijun's heart is very clear." The player I like is Yu Baiwei, the captain of the Chinese women's ice hockey team. She said, "I want to enter the national team, wear the national team's uniform to play, and win glory for the country." ”
