Ice Hockey Team

Hello, my name is Abdulkadir Kırbıyık and I am a second year student in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Erzurum Technical University. I also play as a forward in the Ice Hockey Team. Ice hockey is one of the fastest team games. Let me explain the game a little—ice hockey involves a goalkeeper, five players, making a total of six people in play; the object we call a puck; and a stick we aim to use to score with. Currently, our team consists of sixteen people. We would be happy to see new friends in the team. Students attending the Erzurum Technical University can apply to the team and play with us. We train twice a week on Saturdays and Sundays and once a year we play in the inter-college hockey league. This year, as a result of our work, we were fourth in the tournaments. But in addition, we aim to continue our work regularly and reach better places. Being in the team has primarily affected my relationships in a positive way and helped me improve my relationships with people. I also learned to act in coordination with others. The sport of ice hockey isn’t well known in Turkey so does not exist at all universities. Erzurum Technical University provided us with this opportunity. I wish success to all those friends taking the entrance exam. We would like to see them at Erzurum Technical University.
