Hockey Bio: Shayan
grew up with cricket as his first sport and passion but
hockey was always in his blood with both his father and
grandfather having represented their respective regional
and national sides. He only took up hockey seriously in
2004 upon the encouragement from then CFHC Captain Faizal
Jogee and instantly took a liking for goalkeeping. Ever
since taking up goal keeping he has not looked back and
has been CFHC’s last line of defense at the Spartan
Midwest Summer Classic Tournament 2004 and Cincinnati
Midwest Indoor Challenge Cup 2005. Shayan was named
the MVP for CFHC at the MSU Midwest Classic
Tournament 2004 and was also named the CFHC Male
MVP of the Year for 2004. His favorite hockey players
include Shahbaz Ahmed (Pakistan), Sohail Abbas (Pakistan),
Guus Vogels (Netherlands) and Tuen de Nooijer (Netherlands
).
CFHC Experience:
It's just amazing to have a group
of people who all speak different languages and dialects
and come from such diverse and multicultural backgrounds
and what unites them all is the love and passion for the
great sport of Field Hockey. I started with CFHC last
year 2004, and the experience has been overwhelmingly
great. I have had a blast traveling to tournaments at
MSU and Cincinnati while also playing competitive hockey
at the same time. The highest point of my CFHC experience
so far has been winning the Final at MSU Tournament in
2004 on penalty flicks. I am still a relative newbie to
the sport in general and the position of goal keeping
in particular but the support, love and encouragement
I have received from my fellow teammates has been instrumental
in me carrying on. In particular I am especially thankful
to Faizal Jogee, Alarico Fernandes, Nadeem Khan, Greg
Best, Joniell Borges, Simon Allen, Theresa Sukal and Shahid
Qadri for their coaching, help and guidance. I am sure
that the friendships I have made on and off the field
here at CFHC will last a lifetime and I feel very lucky
to be a part of such a wonderful and diverse group of
people.
