HSK-Den Haag
News archive
HSK won comfortably the Dutch National Team 11-3 (3-0, 3-2, 5-1) in Leidschendam on Sunday 8 December. In front of a crowd of approximately 100 spectators HSK dominated the game from the very beginning.
The second line Gustavsson-Pehkonen-Sveilis lead the way and scored the first four goals. Particularly the speed of Egils Sveilis resulted in constant problems to the National Team, whose performance was hampered by the absence of their former first keeper Maarten Verweij who played the world cup in Helsinki in May 2002. Juuso Juhila made his first appearance for the HSK colors and was a clear reinforcement for the team by scoring two goals.
This was the last match of the "old" National Team before the start of "Higway to
Swiss 2004" project lead by the new Swedish head coach Micke Svensson.
HSK will play a promotional match against the Dutch National Floorball team on Sunday 08 December in De Fluit in Leidschendam.

On SUNDAYS we'll have 30 minutes more, so we'll train from 15:30 to 17:30 hrs. This should allow us more time for just playing.
We'll have a training session on SUNDAY 03 NOVEMBER from 17:00 to 19:30 hrs.
Finally, it seems that we could have one hour on THURSDAYS between 22:30-23:30 which we would use just for playing. We'd have a quick warm up and play for 50 minutes.
Please let me know as soon as possible if THURSDAY times would be ok for you - that's the only possibility have a training session in De Fluit during the weekdays after 8 October.
Although HSK was originally founded somewhere in the year 2000 by people like Guido Nuiten, official recognition took only place in July this year.
The Board members are Simo Vaatainen (president), Lassi Kuusinen (Treasurer) and Il Shik Sloover (Secretary).
