1st of december was held in ice-hockey atmosphere. It was day of hockey match between HK Košice and HKM Zvolen.  ESN Košice decided to bring Erasmus students closer to the traditional winter sport we keep in Slovakia for decades.  This event was organised by Lenka Janovcová and Eugénia Svobodová with the participation of other ESN Košice members, Mirka Maková, Jaroslav Regec. 15 Erasmus  and international students from France, Turkey and Spain came to watch this match with us. For some of them students it was for the first time!

Everybody was excited and felt every minute with our players and theirs chances to score a goal. In each period we had a few powerplay opportunities and lots of shots, however it was Zvolen's left-winger No. 29 Filip Mančak who opened a scoresheet. Despite a huge effort of our players, who outshot the opposition 43 to 19, team Košice could not beat the Zvolen's goalkeeper Marek Šimko throughout whole game. Thanks to his incredible performance between the pipes, Team Zvolen beat Team Košice at their own ice with a final score 0:1. 

There were more than 4000 people watching this match in arena. After match few of us went for a dinner and later home with the feeling of excitement.  We are glad that many students came for this exciting evening full of adrenalin. Was a nice evening! Thank you.
