Hockey is the most popular sport in Canada and it’s growing worldwide
but here in Spain it’s still gaining momentum.
Luckily Quique has brought hockey to Spain
he is the coach of the SPV roller hockey team here in Madrid
Let’s ask him a few questions
How long have you been playing hockey Quique?
I guess for ten years, I had never skated when I was 19 and right now I’m 29
and I had never skated before in my life.
So one day I went to the ice rink and I began skating, that’s all
Excellent, are there any famous Spanish hockey players?
No, no there are like 1,000 people that play hockey here in Spain
so we don’t (have enough people) to get (have) a good player
And in your opinion is hockey a growing sport here in Spain?
Eh, I think so like maybe roller, roller for sure but not in ice,
Ice I’d say it’s shrinking like ten years ago there were more players than right now.
Roller for sure, there (are) more rinks, more players, more interesting leagues, so i think so
And any advice you have for anyone interested in playing hockey here in Spain?
Yes, come here and try
it’s a totally different sport from any other one that you can play here in Spain or maybe in the world.
You need to be fast and be in shape, and you need to be smart
you have to be so complete to be a good player here
Great, thank you Quique Thank you Trevor
