Rukhan love hockey because: • It gives him an adrenaline rush with fast-paced action. • He enjoys the teamwork and bond with his teammates. • He loves the challenge and competition—always trying to improve and win. • Skating and handling the puck help him feel free and powerful on the ice. • Scoring a goal or making a big play gives him a huge sense of accomplishment
On the field, Rukhan inspired by a professional hockey player like Connor McDavid and Alexander Ovechkin—athletes known for their work ethic, leadership, and skill. He might admire how they stay focused under pressure, play with heart, and constantly push themselves to get better. Off the field, Rukhan inspired by his parents and coach —they believes in him, encourages him to keep going, and sets a strong example of dedication and character.
One moment that makes me proudest of Rukhan was when he scored the game-winning goal during a tough match. Not only did he stay calm under pressure, but he also showed great teamwork and determination throughout the game. It wasn’t just about the goal—it was about how hard he worked, supported his teammates, and never gave up. That moment really showed how much he’s grown as both a player and a person.
