Our kids in Thessaloniki

The first trip of the Iptameni youth team began with much excitement and anticipation for their first game.
We were greeted at an incredible ice rink with the best specifications for the development of the sport in Oreokastro Thessaloniki. The hospitality and the help of the owners and players of the opposing team was invaluable!
The first game against the ‘Ice Guardians’, was a fantastic experience full of knowledge, hockey, and smiles. The kids lived beautiful moments and made new friends. All players gave their best, and tried to cope with a much more experienced team. With the aid of players from the Athens Grizzlies, they were able to compete against a worthy opponent. Mainly in the second game, with less stress and under the valuable guidance of their coaches, the kids pleasantly surprised everyone with their effort! Giotis Efkarpidis, Spyros Ploutsis, Alex Valsamas-Rallis and Themis Lambridis are the best coaches that these kids can have by their side.
The Iptameni youth team enjoyed the games and every other minute in Thessaloniki. The trip ended with the best memories, lots of laughter and an experience they will never forget!
