Kojotki’s senior team was runner-up in last year’s Polish women’s championship – a real inspiration for their young clubmates. The future of Kojotki and all women's hockey in Poland is really in good hands!
Today’s game saw a lot of girls playing for the first time. Despite some pre-game nerves, they all did a great job in an exciting and competitive game. We saw impressive goals and great saves and the young players’ exploits earned deserved applause. The two goalies deserve special praise: the more experienced of the two took up the sport three months ago, the other began her hockey adventure earlier in 2025.
Now everyone is looking forward to a return game planned for International Women’s Day on March 8.
