More about Ulrika Hedin

I started playing hockey when I was age 6 and played with the boys until I was 14. I quit for some stupid reason I can’t remember and started again when I was 19, but in an all female team.  We played Division 2 in the women’s league and our performance improved every year.

My ambitions are to get a little bit better every year and try to help others get better. I like to pass on what I know to those who might not know as much. That’s why I ended up coaching the girls’ team in Sweden for 2 years, and they played in the local league against boy teams.

My greatest inspiration in hockey has always been my dad as he´s the one that taught me most of what I know and he still helps me when I need advice.

I mostly do cycling sessions for training as this is good for cardio and gentle on the knees. I do not participate in any other sport at the moment but I have played floor ball and football.  When I was younger I had my own 2 horses so I used to ride alot too.

My goal this year is as a defence is to limit the number of goals scored on us in an effort to help the Goannas team win the AWIHL Championship!
