Wieso Unihockey?

Emma: I have played team sports all my life. I started with football, but floorball was ultimately the perfect match for me. Once I got started, it took me away and I've kept going ever since.

Wieso Verteidigung?

Emma: I used to play center/forward when I was younger, but a couple of years ago our coach thought my experience would be valuable in defence as well. First the idea was just to try it out, but it ended up working really well.

Wie verlief deine Karriere bisher?

Emma: For the last 14 years, I've played in the women's league in Finland. I've played in various different teams in Finland. Three past seasons have been particularly successful with two consecutive gold medals in 2019 and 2018 and a silver in 2017.

Wieso Skorps?

Emma: Skorps is a team with a lot of potential. Furthermore, the team has a very positive vibe - on the field as well as outside. We've been very warmly welcomed and it's great to be part of the team.

Wieso Nummer 77?

Emma: There's no special story - I like double digits and big numbers.

Was kann ich besser als andere?

Emma: I'm calm and I can read the game. Instead of hasty decisions, I try to think ahead and stay a couple of steps ahead of the game. Experience helps, but I also have a good eye and touch for the ball.

Was bringt die Saison 19/20?

Emma: Long season; we'll go until the end. ;)

Emma, schön bist du nun bei uns im Emmental. Wir wünschen dir weiterhin einen tollen Start und viel Erfolg mit den Skorps!
