The Association Genève Futur Hockey (AGFH) is shaping the next generation of ice hockey in Geneva, but it’s also a school of life, so to speak, for young athletes as they gradually reach adulthood. The organization invests Top Scorer funds into things such as educational materials, which it needs for its primary school visits, as well as equipment like helmets, jerseys, sticks and goal nets. Through the work it does in primary schools, the AGFH hopes to raise awareness of the sport and to spark people’s enthusiasm. The organization fosters and embodies the values of self-respect and respect for others, in addition to team spirit.

Playing ice hockey since: 2007“The thing I love about ice hockey is the atmosphere and the experiences we have together as a team.” Ice hockey to me is a lifestyle that is sometimes tough, but always fun. My role model is Andrei Svechnikov: I love how passionately he plays. It’s always fun to see him on the ice.”

Playing ice hockey since 2014“I started out skating in 2014, and started playing hockey for Geneva in 2015. I like everything about ice hockey, but most of all the speed of the game. Ice hockey is my passion. This sport takes a lot out of you, but I’m happy to put the work in. My idol is Roman Josi.”
