For over 70 years now, SC Bern has been promoting young talent with its own junior section, which today is called SCB Future AG. PostFinance’s Top Scorer funds are welcome support that are invested directly into up-and-coming talent specifically for things such as synthetic ice, a gym, a climbing wall, ice for during the summer, power skating coaches and equipment for novices. Being a professionally run sports organization that is important to the Bern region, SCB Future AG gives around 270 children the opportunity to dive into the captivating world of ice hockey. The children have lots of fun learning about the technical, tactical and physical components that make up ice hockey. At the same time, they are taught values, such as team spirit, respect and passion so they can grow as people.

Playing ice hockey since: September 2013“I love the thrill of competition and using my skills to help my team get a win. I’m happiest when I’m playing ice hockey. Hockey is a way for me to express myself, and is an escape for me. I can work on my own skills. When I’m on the ice, nothing else matters. My idol is Pavel Datsyuk.”
