Hello! I am #44, or MJ as I am also called!
My first ice-pass
I started skating in Moss Ice Rink in Dec 2015, when I was four years old. I really enjoyed it, and two years later I was invited to join the U8 team. Since that hockey has been my life, and we have also travelled around in summer time to play hockey other places, and to prepare for the next season with my team.
From 2015 till today
Camps & hockey schools
I like to train with players in other places. In Norway, hockey is quite small. It is very fun to travel and meet players from other clubs and other nations.
I have been in Sweden and played in Färjestad, Swedish Hockey School, and now in Stenungsund. Last year we also spent one week at Bauer Camp in Frederikshavn in Denmark.
The highlight so far was when I was allowed to join the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey School in 2019. Covid 19 stopped us from going back in 2020 and 2021, but I will definitely go back in 2022.
Mountain Biking
MTB is fun, and really challenging. I get more hurt and more bruises after one day in the trails, than from a week at the hockey rink. I am convinced that MTB also makes me a better hockey player. You train your balance, strength, endurance, resist fright and improve decision makings in splits of a second.
But it is all about having fun, and MTB is fun. You get some real kicks either from a challenging jump or winning over a really steep hill.
Other Sports
We try to do as much different things as possible in our off-ice training. We e.g enjoy to run track & field, and it is inspiring to beat my personal records. This spring we had my sister Heidi with us on Melløs Stadium. She used to be a very good athlete from 1998-2004 with personal best in the short and medium distances as 100, 200 and 400m that we only can dream about. we really enjoyed having her with us on the training and look forward to have her with us again. Rumors say that she even bought herself new sprinting shoes with spikes after the session with us
