Awakening of the Giants!!

2011-05-14T22:52:00.005+08:00

Fight to the finish, everyone knows the saying, today, the people of Ztec lived it. We had a tough match today, starting off with a 2 minute penalty. The reason for that penalty was due to a problem with the Jersey of our Goalie. Apart from that, everything was fine, but due to a few unfortunate calls which were "questionable", we had a second two minute penalty, that was where all hell broke lose.

Ztec found the ball in the back of our own net.

The mental height of the team was jeopardized, to the extend that the team could not perform. We did what we could, but we still a goal down. Ztec needed to score, we needed the goal, we needed to do something. We tried and tried, but once again, as it always happens every year, the odds were against us. Calls were made by the referees which had not much meaning, or even the lack of calls in our favor. What should we do? The real question is, WHAT COULD WE DO? Nothing. All we could do was to just play our game. That seemed hard to do with the treatment we were getting, but nevertheless, we muddled through. Ztec was still struggling as we always do in the start of every game. This caused us yet another goal. Now we were far behind. Scoreline, 2-0, in favor of our opponents.

Then came a glimmer of hope. Then our coach, with the limited time and patience we had left, Daniel managed to bring the ball and place it past the keeper, giving us a goal and the much needed motivation and boost to our team. Unfortunately by the end of the 1th period, the scoreline was 2-1.

The horn blows, and the end of the period arrived.

The team made their way out to have a team talk, with much direction from Coach Jason Selva, we were ready to start the second period. Lots were said during the team talk, with lots of emotions running high. The face off is set, the whistle blows, hello 2nd period. In this period, Ztec had a tough time chasing back the goal we needed and with much duress, conceded yet another goal. Oh the agony, oh the frustration! With most of our players already being injured by tactics we would not mention here, we were drowning in aches and pains as if we were in a rugby match. At the end of the 2nd period, the scoreline was now 3-1. In favor of our opponents, once again.

Upon heading out to the court, we Ztec, kept our heads held high. Knowing that we would not stoop so low as to play in ways which would risk hurting our opponents. We knew all too well, that our goal was to prove ourselves on the scoreboard. That was the only thing that mattered. And once again, coming from behind, WE JUGGERNAUTS PLAYED OUR GAME! Talk about "bringing it", we brought, we tore it up and we ripped up the court in more ways than one. As an individual, we couldn't do much, but as a team we conquered all. Our team Captain scored the first goal in the 3rd and final period. Adrian "El Capitano" Koay, with amazing tactical play ups, took the shot that opened the floodgates of goals! We were astonished by the commitment of the players.By having that goal in, Daniel "The Belly" Cheah scored yet another one. The needed equalizer. Scoreline 3-3. Juggernauts were not satisfied with only a mere draw, we thirst for more. We WANTED more. And we ate our fill.

A free hit was given to Ztec.

The players took their spots. The ball placed, Daniel at the shot. He shoots towards the goal.the keeper dives to the right, upon seeing the keeper's reaction, Oliver "Black Retriever" Dominic places his stick out and diverts the ball in the form of a volley towards the left bottom of the net. THE GOAL WAS SCORED! The team rejoices! The game resumes and with a magnificent effort by the team, John "Concussion" Chia secured another point for Juggernauts giving us a reason to celebrate. And lastly, the final was scored by our very own Drew "The Black Boy" Steiert. Giving us a final scoreline of 6-3.

Coming from behind yet again.

It is obvious that we, Juggernauts, have much to learn. But the coaches and managers of Ztec would like to praise and acknowledge all of Ztec's players. You guys truly made us proud to be leading you. Looking forward to our next match. But till then, we train, we push, and we prepare. Floorball is not for the faint of heart, everyone of you Juggernauts have a purpose here. Use your skill for the betterment of the team.

Floorball is a calling, not a sport. You are meant to be floorball players. So play from your hearts and give it your all.

*Ztec would also like to specially thank Coach Jason and Jo-Wyee "Bieber-Boy" Loh for coaching and guiding us. You guys are awesome.!!

PLAY HARD, PLAY SMART, PLAY AS A TEAM! ZTEC.... 1....2..... WHOOSH!!!

*Training is on at Dalat International School, Sunday (15th May 2012)

Time is 6pm - 8pm.

Bring your game, ready to train.

Clear Your Minds, Free Yourself

2011-03-28T13:54:00.003+08:00

For those of us who played in the recent Wave Challenge know of the ups and downs we had and what we had to go through. Many frustrations, upsets, and even discontentment, but we pressed on and pushed through. Sometimes, there are certain aspects that will hinder us from unleashing our full potential, many times it is something that we cannot overcome due to the simple fact that it is totally out of our control.

What we need to do now is to know that we are not the only ones who are going through this as many other teams are experiencing the same situation. But how do we solve this? What should we do? I tell you this....

We focus on that which is truly important...

We must not forget why we play Floorball. Why we train so hard, pushing ourselves to the limit point, why we do what we do. It is for the love of the game. Nothing else. Most of us play floorball because we love this sport. Some have made it into a money making establishment, or even a way to gain power and control. We do it because we love the sport. Right now, we will put Wave Challenge behind us and press on towards our main objective, and that is Division 1 League. We will not give people a reason to mock us, or to condemn us. We will hold our heads high and fight for what is truly ours. Our title.

Calm your hearts of anger and rage, but fan the fire of Floorball. I urge all of you, people of Ztec, search deep within your hearts and find the reason you play the sport. Find the passion that dwells deep within you and let it come out. Cause if you have the heart and passion for the game, I honestly tell you, nothing can stop you. That is the main thing we the coaches want to see, we want to see the passion of our players set free. Some people approached me asking, "how do you do it?". It's simple, we play from our hearts. We would literally pour our hearts into the game.

So, people of Ztec Juggernauts... If there is one thing i ask of you today, it is this. Clear your mind, free yourself. Free yourself of all the negatives and politics in Floorball. Just play the game and compete because you love it. Play the game because you feel happy playing. I myself, and many others, seniors and juniors alike, need to do this too. Go back to the beginning of when you first held a floorball stick, when you scored your first goal, when you enjoyed yourself so much that coming to training meant the world, and leaving after that was like leaving family. Brothers, sisters.

Ztec, we truly are proud of you.. Continue making us proud. Congrats to all who played during the Wave Challenge. We gave it all, we did our best, and we did it as a team. That is the only thing we require from you..

"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships."

Ztec Juniors had friendly match with Dalat Junior team last week. The match was an eye opener and a wake up call for most people.. We shall not go into details, but it all depends on how one looks at it. You could be really angry and frustrated at the game play, your teammates, or even your coach. But if you have the heart to improve, you will look at it as an opportunity to learn something new. We are not "Invisible". We have weaknesses just like every other team. Though at times we do not want to admit that we do have weaknesses, it is an actual fact that we do have them.

We need to learn...

It's time we threw out our "Star Mentality" attitude. It is time we came back down to Earth and stop being in the clouds.

Training At Its Peak...

2011-02-22T02:19:00.004+08:00

When you feel tired, that is your mind trying to trick you. Your body always has extra to give. Do not be fooled by your mind..
- Coach Jason Selva-

Last week, a glimmer of hope for Ztec Juggenauts sparkled. Throughout the trainings we've been having, something was missing, something really crucial and vital was just nowhere to be seen. What is that which I am speaking of? It is none other than the Fire Within. We've been playing, yes, training, yes. However my friends, that is not enough. That is never enough. We need that FIRE.

On the Sunday that just passed, we gathered at Dalat for training. It was an ordinary day,nothing special, nothing different. One thing stood apart from the rest of the trainings we've been having, something was clearly visible... On Sunday, the people of Ztec came "Prepared"... Ztec arrived early (most of them anyway), they were just talking, having a good time. As we were outside the gym gearing up, there was an excitement in the atmosphere, a spirit which made us just wanting to start, wanting to begin.. And begin we did.....

Coach Jason took the seniors and Coach Daniel took the Junior team. Most of us were wondering why the sudden switch. Then, we found out why. The cones were laid out, the scene is set... "CIRCUIT TIME"!!... 30 minutes of solid training, dribbling, sprinting and shooting. All basics but carried out in the toughest of forms. Our legs ached, our sides hurt but that did not matter at all. With the encouragement from all team members, we pushed on, even when we could barely lift our feet. The intensity and the level of enthusiasm on Sunday was like no other training we've had in a very long time. You could literally feel the rush and the drive in the players, hearing them cheer on those who thought they couldn't go on anymore. Upon hearing the chanting of their teammates, they pushed themselves, bringing their mental up and overcoming fatigue and even pain. THAT IS WHAT ZTEC IS ABOUT!!

Guys, you made us, the coaches, extremely proud of you.. And what's more, you made us proud to be donning the ZTEC Jersey.. The Jersey that makes others tremble. When we put on that Jersey, and run as a team, we make the very foundation shake. Why? Because we can!

WHO ARE WE??? WE ARE JUGGERNAUTS!!

Keep it up people.. Let's bring this attitude to every training from now on....
WHOOSH!!!

RISE OF THE JUGGERNAUTS!!

2011-01-31T05:54:00.002+08:00

2010 held fond memories for many of us who are Ztec. The ups and downs, the tears, the sweat, and the blood shed. We were taught many lessons, given many opportunities and made to be better and stronger both as individuals and as a team. Many now are unclear as to where 2011 will lead us. There are changes already starting to happen in the team. Frankly, it is true when people say, change is scary, why do we need change? Can't we stay the same and do what we were already doing? Everything was good just the way it was, can we just NOT change anything? The answer to that, yes we can. But NO we won't.

Things were good, no doubt, but we as Ztec want to bring the best out of our team. We as Ztec want to see our players, grow not only in their game, but also as a whole, as an individual. Many think that Ztec is yet another "Floorball Club", I say to you today, that is NOT what Ztec is!! Ztec is YOU! Ztec is a family. We need to bring that back. No matter what background we're from, who we are, what conflict there is, IT DOESN'T MATTER! When you come onto that court amongst your fellow teammates, there you are in the midst of family. And family ALWAYS can be counted on. At one point in time, Ztec was at its prime, many of you who have been with us would know what I am talking about. There was a time that training never felt like training, it was more of a fellowship, a gathering of people, doing that which they loved doing.

What made Ztec so great? How did we achieve what we achieved? It wasn't on individual skills. Though that is important, it is NOT everything. You want to know the secret to Ztec's success? Here it is. Ztec succeeded because we played as ONE. Nothing more to it than that. Its really simple actually. We played as one and we had fun. There was a sense of intensity and motivation in the air. You could literally feel the adrenaline rushing out from its players. You can literally feel the Ztec Spirit flowing from the hearts of its members. And I dont just mean during a competition, no, I mean even during training sessions. And fellow members of Ztec, there's only one thing we want to make clear to you today. 2011, we ARE reigniting that flame. We are bringing that fire back. THE SPIRIT OF ZTEC SHALL LIVE ON ONCE AGAIN!!

After much deliberation, the coaches have selected a new name for Ztec. 2011 is a year of change, a year of new beginnings. And we, Ztec, begin this year with a whole new identity, a whole new image.

- The Juggernaut is said to be a large, overpowering destructive force that would take on anything that comes in its path, it knows NO fear, it knows NO pain. It also can be defined as a massive inexorable force, movement, or object that crushes whatever is in its path. It stops for no opponent and above all, the Juggernaut welcomes challenges.

My friends, Ztec is proud to present our new name. From now on, we will be called
"ZTEC JUGGERNAUTS"..
We will move as a single unit, we will flow with creativity, we will work together and we will play as one. New Ztec players learn this and learn it well, Seniors Ztec players, let's show this through our actions and our game. Let us show our young ones how we did it and what it means to play for Ztec.

This year we bring a whole new level to our game. We bring ourselves and our team to greater heights. Remember, what we expect is what we accomplish. If we expect small we accomplish small. So let us look to our own hearts first. Prepare yourselves.. Its about to get interesting.. Join us, and let us bring the Spirit of Ztec back!

ZTEC JUGGERNAUTS!! 1.... 2..... WHOOSH!!

Ztec Interview : Brandon #23

2010-09-07T00:17:00.004+08:00

1. What winning the PFL Div 1 2010 meant to you.

It means a lot to me. Because i have never won something so big in my life. Winning the biggest floorball tournament in Penang is really something to be proud about. All those days training and practicing finally paid off and it was worth it.

2. The feeling of winning your first gold medal with Ztec.

It feels great, I’ve never won a gold medal in anything before. Winning it with ZTEC makes it a whole lot better. Looking forward to winning more gold medals with ZTEC. Whooshh!!

3. What do you think of Ztec Phoenix.

Ztec phoenix is the most fun team anybody could ever ask for. Its like were connected as a team on court, knowing what each of us are going to do on court really is an advantage. Off the court were like one big family. Lots of bonding! Royal Flush ;)

4. Your most memorable moment in the league.

I will have to agree with my fellow teammate Adrian. It was the nail biting match Phoenix vs Innebandy. Anybody could have gone and won it. I was praying and hoping that somebody would equalise when the scoreline was 4-5. Then along came Jo-wyee who scored the equaliser. Phew, what a relief..by far the most memorable part in the whole league.

5. What number you wear and what it means to you.

I wear number 23. The number 23 represents my favourite basketball player Michael Jordan. Yes, he doesnt have anything to do with floorball but, I’ve always admired him since i was young. He is a legend and a true sports icon. His skill and finesse is truly mesmerizing, i hope i can do the same on the floorball court.

Ztec Interview: Adrian Koay #9

2010-09-03T00:21:00.002+08:00

What winning the PFL Div 1 2010 meant to you...

It means a lot to me and for the whole team too, I’m sure. It’s a pleasure and reward to us after a whole year of hard work and commitment.

The feeling of winning your first Div 1 gold medal with Ztec...

Hahaha! It feels good and WOW!! I’m happy and glad! Definitely, it feels a lot better than winning Div 2 last year as there are much stronger, more experienced and competitive teams in Div 1. Whoosh!

Ztec Phoenix...

Ztec Phoenix! Hmmmm... It feels SPECIAL. To play with Phoenix last year in Div2 and again this year in Div1 is just amazing! Go Phoenix!

Your most memorable moment in the league...

Hm... When Jo equalised to 5-5 during the game against Innebandy!Co.. My legs were tired, the time is running out and the game was getting so tensed! It’s a huge relieve. Inne is a very strong team!

What number u wear and what it means to you...

Hahaha! No.9 inspired by Berbatov from United! I just love the way he plays. Many call him lazy but when he touches the ball , its magic! How I wish i could be like him! Except being called the lazy part

Ztec Interview: Termin #39

2010-08-26T00:59:00.003+08:00

What winning the PFL Div 1 2010 meant to you...

It is a very great feeling for me as a captain and the coach of the team. We worked very hard right till the last game and of the league and you must give credit to this team. I think they were well rewarded with this trophy. It means a lot to me as this year’s league was much tougher than last year.

Of being written off before the league began...

I think many people predicted that this year’s league trophy will be Innebandy! Co’s because of the strength and depth of their team. We were surely getting a lot of ‘feedbacks’ and ‘talks’ around saying that we have no match against them and we will be getting thrash by them so I think this partly gave us motivation to fight harder and train even harder.

Best player in the league...

Without a doubt is Jun Wooi from Ztec Phoenix. Being a more experience and tougher player this year he surely defended very well at the back as well as very efficient in building up the attack and supplying the balls to the forwards. He was also one of the few players in the league who gave 110% in every game. He truly deserve the all star award.

Ztec Phoenix...

This team is maturing at a very fast pace. If u look back at the team I think many have forgotten that 7 out of 13 players played in Div 2 floorball last year. That is more than half of the team. I would say our strength is the attacking line so we really focus on the attacking side of the game which made us concede quite a large number of goals. If u look at the age of this team I think there is much to come from them.

Ztec8cers...

‘WOW’. The first word that came to my mind when thinking of this team. These guys surprised many in the league. Many sees this team as the weakest team in the league but they proved their doubter wrong by a very good start in the league. Although without any national players I think this team fought very bravely and always fought right to the final whistle.

The gap left by Jo-Wyee and Oliver...

Two very important forwards left us for studies which will surely affect the team’s attacking game. This 2 players have a very high influence on the younger players. With the departure of this 2 players it will surely slow down Ztec’s attacking game. However if u look to the bright side, with the departure of these players, the younger players can step up to fight for their spot in the first team which will give a good competition inside the club.

Jersey number (39)...

This number(39) is the date where my grandfather passed away. The 30^th Sept .

Most memorable moment in the league...

Final whistle of the Ztec Phoenix vs Innebandy! Co match. Becuase i knew we would have a good chance to win the league with that result.

Where will Ztec go from here...

We will work harder to improve ourselves as a team and focus on the defensive side of the game which is our main weakness. We will surely come back stronger next year with the young player emerging and some of the older players coming back to play for Ztec.

Sharing The Glory : Phoenix VS Innebandy Co!

2010-08-11T22:01:00.002+08:00

The day has finally come, 10th of august, the day that all penang floorballers were looking forward to. The clash of the titans, Ztec and Innebandy's finest facing off in what some might say the best match of the league or maybe even the year. The deciding match between who clinches the cup and the gold medal. 8pm Balik Pulau stadium, where all the action happened. The stands were filled with players from different clubs supporting and cheering both teams on court.

Even the warm up felt intense as players were nervous and excited to be playing the biggest game this year. After warming up, we huddled up and our coaches gave us some motivation and inspirational talk. The moment we've all been waiting for, the whistle blew and the game began. Some people might have predicted that the game would have been very slow and safe because 1st place was on the line. But, both teams started fast and furious. Going head to head for every ball, giving 100%. It was Innebandy who broke the deadlock via Nicholes Ong. Ztec was a bit shakened up by the early lead. But Ztec stood strong with heads held high and pressed on. Moments later got the equaliser from our very own Jo-Wyee who tapped in a rebound. Few minutes later, with the blistering speed of our very own ''nigga'' (Drew Steiert) he shrugged off the inne defender and sped away squaring in the ball for our legendary Bobby ( Ken Wye) who tapped home a simple goal. Ztec ended the 1st period leading by 2-1.

Upon resting and rejuvenating, our coaches layed out some strategies and some words of wisdom before the 2nd period began. The 2nd period began with Ztec scoring an early goal, another carbon copy of the 2nd goal by Drew and Ken Wye. Later into the game, Inne made a comeback by some defending errors from Ztec, equalising the game to 3-3 from a brace by Bryan Looi. Both teams pressed on, but there were no further goals in the 2nd period. Both teams switched sides and had a team talk respectively. Fatigue started to settle in and so did disappointment upon not playing as well as the 1st period. The coaches tried to get the team fired up by telling the team that the 3rd period was what meant the most, that it was now or never.

The refs blew their whistles signalling for the 3rd period to begin. Both teams were playing equally well, but it was Innebandy's main player Deswyn Wan who scored a superb goal straight into the top corner. Ztec was further frustrated, but we didn't give in and kept playing hard. We answered back by a goal from Jo-Wyee yet again, scoring his second of the match. But, there was still time on the clock and yet again Innebandy replied with ANOTHER goal coming by Jason assisted by Sam. The crowd was getting louder and louder, cheering their hearts out. Our main cheerleader John and Joon Han from 8cers were cheering their loudest and lost their voices (thank you guys). Ztec gave their all and fought for the equaliser , finally a break through. Who else but Jo-Wyee scored the equalising goal and the goal that tied the game up at 5-5. That's how the game ended with both teams sharing the points.

This was definitely a nail biting match and a game to remember. Ztec Phoenix fought a good fight and never gave up taking one step closer to achieving the gold medal. A special shout-out to our very own Loh Jo-Wyee, thank you for being a great coach, friend and brother to all of us, we really appreciate all you have done for us. We hope you have a safe journey to the US and all the best. Make sure you train with Jerm and come back for next years Division 1. That means you too Jerm!! Till the next match..1..2..Whooshh!! 1..2..Jo-Wyee!!

A quote from Marianne Williamson: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

WE ARE ZTEC !!

Ztec8cers: Every Single Second Counts

2010-07-31T00:38:00.003+08:00

In floorball, every single second can make a huge difference. In this game 1 single second gave a team all 2 points.

Going on against Minden Unihawks was surely a very even and tough match for the 8cers. With both team having speedy players, it was all up to the more experience players to make the difference. Talking about experience, Unihawks surely have the upper hand with a few national and state players in the team.

The game started off with 8cers pushing for the early goal and was rewarded with Samuel Ong grabbing the 1st goal. After that moment of joy the game went pretty slow with both goalkeepers having not much to do. However, Minden Unihawks did equalized right before the break making the scoreline 1-1.

2nd period saw Minden Unihawks scoring 1 goal through a penalty before Allen Goh of Ztec hit 1 back for 8cers. However, it was Unihawks who had the better of the 2nd period scoring to end the period 3-2 in favour of Unihawks.

3nd period saw John Chia Shen scoring from half way line due to some goalkeeping error. With the game at 3-3 both teams were eager to score to next goal. However it was Minden who did the scoring. Not one, not two but 3 goals. In a blink of an eye, Minden were leading by 6-3. 8cers called for a time out and after words of encouragement and a change of strategy the catching up began.

Andy Goh scored 2 goals before captain Samuel hit the equalizer with a nice team play after receiving the final pass from Norman. With confidence rising, 8cers was desperate for the win. Attacks after attacks, Unihawks manage to hold a strong defending wall. With 4 seconds left on the clock, John Chia Shen intercepted a pass, dribble a player a calmly slotted in the winning goal with 1 second left to play. It all happened just like in those sports movies we watched.

An important lesson learn by both teams and surely everyone in floorball. Do not give up until the last second for every second in floorball counts! Next up, how will 8cers deal against the mighty Ztec Phoenix?

Ztec8cers: Holding the Mighty Spartans

2010-07-31T00:26:00.004+08:00

Ztec8cers whom were the champions of the 2009 Penang Division 1 was this year made up mainly new players. Being the 2nd team of Ztec Floorball Club, this team consists of players from the 2009 Division 2 team as well as some new young blood.

Going out against the runners up of PFL 2009 Div 1( Frontliners Spartans) wasn't an easy game and surely not a start Ztec8cers wanted. However the young team was truely excited and gave their best throughout the match. For those of you who didnt watch the game, this was a little bit like the 2005 Football European Championship Final(AC Milan vs Liverpool).

8cers started of the game on a high with John Chia Shen netting the first goal giving a shock to almost everyone in the stadium. However it didnt took long for Spartans to take the lead after 2 quick goals to end the first period 2-1.

2nd period saw Frontliners grabbing 1 goal before Tashveen capitalised over a Spartan mistake before Andy Goh equalised for the 8cers. 3-3 the score after 2 period.

3rd period saw Frontliners went ahead 3 goals in the first 10 minutes. With the score at 6-3 and with 10 minutes left, the 8cers coach called for a time out and gave his team a talk to boost their morale and with a few new strategies the game resume. Many didnt know or predicted the next 10 minutes will be like the 2nd half of the 2005 Football European Championship Final.

In quick succession, Samuel the captain netted his first goal before Andy Goh calmly slotted a penatly after a lying play by a Spartan's player. With barely 1 minute left on the clock, John Chia Shen broke Spartans heart by equalizing to bring the score to 6-6.

At final whistle, this draw proved more than just a single point for Ztec. For 8cers it was a point to prove to Penang that they were not there just to make the numbers. With high morale they look forward for their next match against the Unihawks.

Over the Anthill..... Once Again..

2010-07-29T22:56:00.003+08:00

Ztec did it again, coming out with a comfortable victory against Contact Fireants with a score of 15-3. Although one might think that this was just another game, however this match was as important as any other match Ztec has played. Why? Because one slip-up might cost us the gold medal.

The game started with Ztec going out with all guns blazing but it took our opponents some time to get settled into the match. Ztec handed them 6 goals in the first period which really boosted the morale of team Ztec. We were on fire and kept on fanning the flame. By pushing ourselves, Ztec kicked the habit of the usual weakness of the team whereby we would tend to start slow and work our way up. This was different. We had a point to prove. From the moment we took our first step onto the court, till the last person stepped out, we were bringing our game, showing the people what Ztec is about, we were playing with all heart, and yes.... We were PLAYING FLOORBALL!

The second half looked bright for Contact as they weren't about to roll over and play dead. They brought a force that made Ztec push ourselves even more. Edward, captain of Contact scored a well taken goal which gave Contact a lil ray of sunshine and definitely something to shout about. But ZTEC responded by bagging another 3 goals, ending the 2nd period 3 goals to 1.The half time whistle sounded and it was time for a well deserved rest for both sides.

The referees blew their whistles and signaled for the game to start. Contact grew in confidence as they pressured ZTEC and chased for every ball. Unfortunately for ZTEC Edward and Penny scored 2 good goals, and they were leading for the start of the 3rd period. Ztec's coach called for a time out to give us a ''talk'', the talk that changed everything in the hearts and minds of the players. Ztec went back in scoring 6 goals ending the game with a bang, starting strong and finishing strong as well. The glorious thing about this match is that whenever the opposition scores, ZTEC with heads held high responded with positivity and scoring atleast two goals in return. The emphasis on this sentence is not about the goal scoring, but the emphasis is that ZTEC kept their heads held high. We did not allow ourselves to be pushed around, intimidated or even mocked. Instead, we strive to better ourselves. On the scoreboard, that is where we create our voice. On the court, that is where we make our stand.

Till the next game..1..2...Whooshh!!!

A Sweet Comeback : ZTEC PHOENIX VS SPARTANS

2010-07-12T23:31:00.003+08:00

The anticipated day had arrived, ZTEC's first match in division 1 of the PFL has begun, and no way will ZTEC succumb to fear or intimidation, Why? Because this is what we have been training for, all year long. Last year, ZTEC won the cup. We emerged as champions and gold medalist in division 1 2009.....and guess what? We intend to do it again.

Playing our first match against SPARTANS, ZTEC proved to be a team within a team, playing with all heart and soul, giving everything we have we did not allow jeering or negative talk against the team to bring us down instead it pushed us further and pushed us harder. We had a point to prove, a point to be made known to all who were watching, to other teams that ZTEC still has what it takes. And we are not to be pushed around. We have prove ourselves time and time again, that we are a force to be reckoned with. We proved it once again when we played SPARTANS. SPARTANS gave everything they had, they played with spirit and we truly respect them for that. How did we show respect to spartans? We never slowed our game down, we did not take pity on them, instead we respected them as floorball players and played them as we will play every other team. ZTEC would like to congratulate SPARTANS for putting up a hell of a fight. We would like to thank all players in ZTEC for playing their best, without each one of you there would be no chemistry, there would be no flow. We would also like to thank the goalscorers, Adrian, Termin, Jo-Wyee, Oliver, and to Kuan Yang for SPARTANS on scoring two good goals. To those who came to support ZTEC, we owe you much gratitude for bringing the spirit of ZTEC up and making it known and alive. To those who support us, we consider you family and we truly appreciate your effort and time and above all we appreciate your thunderous cheers.

ZTEC is united, in more ways than one. There can be back talk, there can be gossips there may even be frustration at times. But that will not stray us from being the team that we are. People always question what ZTEC means. But thanks to our coach (Jo-Wyee) ZTEC finally has a meaning and that is....

Z-Zestful
T-Talented
E-Enhanced
C-Champions

All of ZTEC hear this as we say to you, you ARE Zestful, you ARE talented and you truly ARE enhanced champions !! 1...2...Whooshh!!

My Teammate Interview : Ter Min

2010-06-22T23:35:00.003+08:00

Name: Chiam Ter Min
Position: Right Forward
Age: 20

Most Hardworking Player

I would say the most hardworking player will be Adrian. Always punctual for training and always giving a 100% in drills or game. No surprise he improve so fast.

Fastest Player

Fastest player without the ball should be Drew or Tashwin but with the ball will be between Oliver or Jo-Wyee. With the ball Oliver and Jo-Wyee are very fast.. Like car.

Nicest Car

Surely got to be Ken Wye. His new Sports Mazda.

Club Joker
It surely has to be Drew. Always doing funny things always making his team mates happy and most of the time you will always see him with a smile.

Toughest Player

Adrian Koay. He always goes in for every challenge 100% and its very hard to knock him off the ball.

Player who takes the longest time in shower after training

Surely has to be Jack... One of the first player to go in for the shower and the last to come out. Ken Wye also takes pretty long.

Labour Day Review ZTEC 1 : Good, But Not Good Enough

2010-05-18T22:55:00.010+08:00

The day started with much anticipation with ZTEC 1 first match being their archrivals with Innebandy! Co. The fight was very intense, creating high tension in both teams causing chaos on court. History would reveal that the few previous labour day challenges, ZTEC always seemed to fall short of victory coming in 2nd. The coaches and managers of ZTEC were hoping and aiming to end this drought. ZTEC 1 gave their all by playing hard and smart bringing the ZTEC spirit into the competition. Though ZTEC lost to Innebandy! Co. They made a come back when they played against Dalat and NTU with a score line of 8-2 against Dalat and 2-1 against NTU. The match against NTU proved to be the best ZTEC had played in the whole tournament. It was against NTU that the giant known as ZTEC awakened with roaring spirits and thundering enthusiasm, ZTEC giving NTU a match worth playing with NTU coming all the way from Singapore. They came with one purpose in mind and that was to play floorball...and played they did. Kudos to NTU for performing as they did. What a way to end the first day of competition.

Thus the semifinals began. Facing Dalat Portbelly Pirates we showed no mercy beating them 11-0 . However, we gotta admire Dalats never say die mentality. No matter what the scoreline was, Dalat never backed down they kept playing with all hope, all energy and all heart. Congratulations to Dalat, you are winners in our eyes. And now for the finale, if this were to be a culinary show then this would be the Crème de la Crème of floorball matches! If this were a musical theatre production, at this point in time the maestro of the orchestra would be building the music to the peak!! If this were a movie, this would be the part where the final showdown takes place.

Silence on court..the referee's are ready, the players are ready and the whistle sounds.

As the game went on the cheers and jeers of the crowds grew louder, it was a time of mixed emotions. There was pain, there was blood, there was stress, pressure and lots and lots of sweat. Unfortunately, ZTEC found themselves to be a goal down, they did whatever they could, pushed as hard as pushing can go but. But, time did not permit the regaining of that one goal. Therefore, history repeated itself, what do you learn from this? History Bites, Big Time. We may have lost the battle but the war is yet to begin, Penang League Division 1 coming soon. Crushed spirits? Broken heart? I say NAY!!! Down and depressed? No way!! For we are ZTEC, Fire comes out from our hearts and lightning bolts from our feet, as we run past an shoot as a team, we play for one team, with the same passion. We play for ZTEC.

Let me hear it again!! Let the whoosh sound on high!!! 1...2...Whoosh!!ZTEC 1

Review of Labour Day Tournament ZTEC 2 : The Young & The Hopeful

2010-05-05T20:20:00.007+08:00

Alas, labour day challenge has come and gone. To most labour day is a day of rest, however that cannot be said for the players of ZTEC 2 who gave their all in the battle of attempting that which might seemed distant to some, victory. ZTEC 2 played with all their hearts, holding nothing back giving every ounce of energy they had in them, they pushed themselves to the limit, giving everything they had, to the extent of facing injuries, fractured bones, bruises and aches. That did not stop them, ZTEC 2 continued to fight. This cannot be taught by any coach, any captain or anyone. This came from them and them alone, when they were behind they never gave up,chasing every loose ball,when they were tired fatigue seemed like a motivation for them to move faster. Where that spirit came from, no one knows. All we can say is.. THAT IS ZTEC !!.

ZTEC 2 played a number of matches, although they did not emerge victorious in every match, they are now examples even to the seniors. The one match that stood out from the whole tournament, was the match between ZTEC 2 vs NTU HURRICANES ( Singapore ) Ztec 2 down with only 5 players and one goalie, everyone was doubtful of ZTEC 2. Majority of the people assumed that it was going to be a blow out. That is when the ZTEC spirit came in, the juniors rose to the occasion, putting to shame many seniors in the floorball community in penang. It was then that many were proven wrong. NTU with experienced and national capped players were dumbfounded when they could not penetrate the defense, to get the ball in to the net. ZTEC 2 comprised of junior players with experience as short as only 5 months compaired to NTU, were only considered toddlers in floorball. There were many close calls, but ZTEC 2 tirelessly and amazingly held them back by chasing every ball and playing tightly as a team. Unfortunately, a goal was scored. Controversial but nonetheless a goal. ZTEC 2 kept their heads held high and managed to equalise from our very own young gun John Chia. Bringing the match neck and neck once again.

The final whistle sounds...

The crowd went wild with cheers of excitement and disbelief. It was then that the penalty shoot-outs began. NTU had the upper hand of having a goalie with experience and so to were their players who actually had trained to take penalties, but kudos to Suku AKA Chocolate for stepping up his game managing to save 1 shot out of 3 which gave hope to ZTEC 2 and everyone around them. Unfortunately, experience took over, Hurricanes final score was 2 goals to 1. But a job well done to captain of ZTEC 2 Kok Hui, who managed to salvage a goal during the shoot-outs.

ZTEC 2, in 2 days, when from zero's to heroes, frustrating opponents, scoring goals and having played as a TEAM, proving to the people out there that team work is as important as individual skill. They made history by playing against better and more experienced teams and not succumbing to the pressures and intimidation of more senior players. They stood their grounds, they played their game and they did it to the best of their abilities.

To, Kok Hui, Tashveen, Rishi, Syaza, John , Samuel, Teik Hong, Yong Ern, Gim Hoong and Suku AKA Chocolate ;). You people were awesome, keep ur heads up and keep the fire burning. 1..2..Whoosh!

Youthwave Challenge Interview : Jack Lee

2010-04-14T00:17:00.004+08:00

1. What does winning this tournament mean to you?

-its a great boost of confidence to win the upcoming tournament.

2.who played the best in your team?

- Everyone did a great job but i would say its jo wyee and adrian. They run up and down a lot in order to get control of the ball and grab a few goals

3. Toughest opponent?

-I would say its the PFS team. With Don shakir as their last man, our team find it hard to get the ball into the net

4. Toughest player..

-oliver from pcc team..his shooting accuracy is precise so wherever he shoots the ball has high chance of entering the net

5.Your feeling about winning the first gold medal this year?

-Great!! im in for more challenges

6.Meeting oliver and john in the finals?

-the finals was the best match i played that day and meeting oliver and john in the finals, that match was more like a usual training session for me

Youthwave Challenge Interview : Samuel Ong

2010-04-14T00:07:00.002+08:00

1) What does winning this tournament mean to you?

I'm proud to win this tournament with Ztec and it means a lot to me because this is the first time we are champions in a youthwave triple challenge

2) Who played the best in your team?

I would say everyone because every player plays a vital role in the team and without a player in the team, we can't win this tournament.

3) Toughest opponent (team). Why?

I think it's against Bukit Jambul School. Because the players are big in size and they blocked and defended the goal very well. Although they seldom impose any threat to our goal, our team need to work hard to score a goal against them.

4) Toughest opponent (player). Why?

I don't know. :p But if I were to say, its definitely the players from Bukit Jambul School.

5) My feelings about winning the first goal medal this year?

Of course I'm esctatic, duh!!

6) Meeting Oliver and John in final?

Well, its no surprise for me meeting them in the final because every year, without fail, they will be in the final. It's a very friendly match and I had fun playing against them because we all come from the same club. :)

Where for Art Thou, O' Ztec ?

2010-03-08T22:52:00.003+08:00

Rumours fly, people talk, people gossip...Are they true? It is not for any of us to fan the fire of gossip. We cannot stop people from talking about ztec in a negative way, what we can do is to PROVE THEM WRONG !!!! We live in a society who thrive on pulling people down. But, Ztec is better than that! When people try to pull us down, we pull them up instead. Why? Because WE CAN !! We shall not and will not allow ourselves to be ridiculed, to be chestised, to be verbally abused or condemned, WE ARE ZTEC !!! And we are proud of it !! Let people say what they want, let people talk about us, we will give them reason to talk. They will respect us once again.

How are we to gain their respect ? Not by mere words, nor by pleading for respect. We demand respect by our actions. But all this will have to start from within. We as ZTEC players should be united once again. There may have been conflict, ups and downs, and a bump along the way, but hear us as we tell you this, things WILL change ! Let us forget and let go of what has happened in the past, let us strive to move on us a team once again, when we were a team, we are a force to be reckoned with, when we are a team, people shudder at the mention of our name....and they SHOULD !

What happened to the passion for floorball in ztec, what happened to the fun and the joy that we had while we played? What happened to the pride, the spirit, and the unity in the team ? We as ZTEC are aiming to build the foundation once again, only with a strong foundation can the mighty tower stand, and stand we will. We shall not be shattered by the mindset of individuals, instead we will harness our skills, our talents and our god given right! TO PLAY FLOORBALL !!

Politics in floorball, what is that ? Tension and disastisfaction, bring it on! We will jump over those hurdles, we will smash through the barricades of the walls that hinder us, we will triumph, we will not falter, we will never surrender nor would we give up...EVER !!!

To all ZTEC members and players, boys and girls, men and women, whoever you are we call upon you, we ask of you, we challenge you! To have a mindset, of a sportsman, stay united, stay as one, we will bring ztec back. And we will need everyones help in order to achieve that goal. Let us play with heart, let us play with determination, let us play the way ztec used to play. ONE TEAM, ONE PASSION. Let us, awake the sleeping giant once more.

Where for art thou O' ZTEC ? Here We Are !!
Say it with me, 1...2...Whooshh !!!

Ztec 2010 Team Picture with many missing

2010-03-03T14:59:00.002+08:00

Phoenix wins; 8cers survive scare

2010-03-03T14:47:00.003+08:00

Team Phoenix, captained by Jack won against Firebrands B 16-3 with John and Kok Hooi among the top scorers of the match. With the mixture of experience given by Jack and Kok Hooi and speed by players like Tash, the Phoenix team proved to be the much stronger team.

However, 8cers didnt have it easy as they fought hard against a much improved and hard working Firebrands side. 8cers took the lead through Adrian but the joy was short, as Firebrads struck twice in quick succession. Daniel Cheah equalized right before the break to save the champions blushes.

The 2nd period was quite similar to the first, with only 1 goal scored. The 3rd period saw 8cers shooting from all cylinders. The final score after 3 period was 8-3 with Jo-Wyee, Adrian and Oliver each netting 2 while Jun Wooi and Daniel got one each.

Ztec would like to thank Alex and Gary for helping us with the arrangement of the match. We would also like to wish you best of luck in the upcoming Penang League Div 2.

Pictures from friendly match against Minden Unihawks

Friendly Against Minden Unihawks(18/10/09)

2009-10-19T13:19:00.005+08:00

Unihawks 7 - 10 Ztec
(2-4), (2-0), (3-6)

This was the third meeting between this two clubs in 3 months. The first was in the league where Ztec clinch the title with a 18-1 victory. The 2nd, in the recent Rising Star challenge where Ztec came out on top again with a 2-0 win. However this time, it was a much much tighter game.

Unihawks boosted with the arrival of a few European players together with a Canadien player surely did make them a tougher team to play against. With their local players also being more experience now, it wasn't easy this time as it was back them in the league. The 18-1 scoreline was far from sight.

The game started rather fast with both teams on constant attacking. However it was Ztec that found the net first through Daniel Cheah. Unihawks equalized through their own Daniel before Ztec's Samuel Ong brought Ztec up again. At the end of the first period, it was 2-4 to Ztec with goals from Daniel and Jo-Wyee.

The 2nd period was totally dominated by Unihawks. They started off with a 100% press and really caught us off guard. Ztec kept trying to attack but was kept at bay by their on form goalie Dawn Tan. At the end of period 2, it was 2-0 to Unihawks.

Now with the score at 4-4, and Ztec starting the 3rd period with only 4 man because of their captain Ter Min being given a 2 minutes foul, Unihawks were looking to lead this match for the first time. This did not happen, Ter Min after coming out from the penatly bench immediately scored his first goal assisted by Jo-Wyee. Jo-Wyee made 4-6 before Unihawks scored 2 to equalize. With the score at 6-6, tension was rising. A penalty was given to Unihawks. Sarah stood up but failed to concede. The final score was 7-10 to Ztec with goals coming in from Adrian, Ter Min and a double from Jo-Wyee.

The friendly then ended with each teams taking 8 penalty shots. The final score of the penalty was 2-2. Brandon and Samuel was the only one to find the net.

Ztec would like to thank the following for making this friendly a success:

Wai Wai (Team manager of Unihawks for arranging this game)

News from USA: Oliver Cedric

2009-08-10T21:40:00.002+08:00

Ztec has taken time to interview 2 of our players who are currently in USA. This is the interview between Ztec (Z) and Oliver Cedric (OC)

Z: How was your trip there and how are u settling down at the moment?

OC: The trip here was long and very tiring. It was a hassle transiting in so many different airports...! And, not to mention, I almost missed my connecting flight to Oklahoma from Chicago. Was stranded in Japan due to a delayed flight. But overall, the experience has thought me a lot. Flying so far from home for the first time and being alone, really gives you time with your thoughts. Overall, I had smooth flights throughout my journey... Ask Jeremy about his experience.. SCARY..!

Z:The league in penang has ended, how did u team 8cers performed in the league? Any words of encouragement to this team?

OC:The saddest thing about the league ending is exactly that, IT HAS ENDED! I had such a great time playing and competing that i dreaded the end of it. The league ending also meant it was close to my departure. So yeah, it was a sad thing that the league ended on all levels. 8cers were AWESOME! We went over our objective, we intended to score 50 goals throughout the league, and we beat that, so i would say we did very well. I'm seriously PROUD of you guys, we played as a team and we eventually won as a team.. And that, my friends, is the crucial factor of victory.! ONE TEAM, ONE PASSION! Keep it up people.. More to come..!!

Z: 33 goals out of the 53 goals has been scored between you, Jo Wyee and Ter Min. How do u think your absence will affect the attacking line?

OC: Well, Praise God that the I performed well and was able to contribute. I feel that the team will be able to press on. There is no doubt there. We are a team. And there is no single, star player in Ztec. Although I hope that i'll be missed (I REALLY HOPE SO GUYS! :P), I know in my heart that the members of Ztec will train to be the best that they can be, and they will cover my absence well. Who knows, there might be another "Oliver" lurking around in training. =] So Team, continue to train. Ter Min, Daniel Cheah and Jo Wyee, continue to coach them. And yes, Ztec will live on.!

Z:Who do you think was the best player in the league? (can be any position)

OC: Best Player....... me?? lol.. Nah.. Just kidding. Well, as for best player in the team, I think it should go to Jeremy Yeap. His brilliant stunts, control and his dedication to lead the team with pointers and strategies have really inspired me to be a better player. I've played floorball for more than 5 years, and with Jeremy around, I still learn a lot. Stuff i never knew, and also stuff I THOUGHT i knew. So yes, in my book, Jerm should get best player for Ztec in this league.

Z: Lastly, any words of encouragement to the players in Ztec?

OC: Well, first and foremost, I just want to say that I miss you guys, and I miss training with you. It's not easy being thousands of miles away, not even having my floorball stick to even train (Dumb customs).But I will find a way to train and when I return, I shall hope to be at least a lil better. Jeremy is in the room beside mine, so i guess I can bug Him to train me every now and then. LOL! But seriously guys, I can honestly say that there is no team out there like Ztec, the bond we have in unbreakable, the spirit we have, uncrushable, the passion we have for the game, unspeakable, there are just no words to decribe Ztec, other than............ Family. You guys are the best. Keep in up and train your hardest. I've given some goals to reach to some of the players. And I hope you can reach them. This is to the entire Ztec. Play HARD, play SMART, and above all.... Have fun.. That's where our strength truly lies. We are GOOD individually, but we are GREAT together. So train your best, and play your best. I'll be cheering you on from here. Semangat Ztec, and God Bless...

Ztec wishes Oliver and Jeremy the best of luck in their future in the USA and hope to see them back soon.

News from USA: Jeremy Yeap

2009-08-08T18:39:00.005+08:00

Ztec has taken time to interview 2 of our key players who are currently in the USA. This is an interview between Ztec (Z) and Jeremy Yeap (JY).

Z: How does it feel to be back in the USA?

JY: Mixed feelings. Good because I'm away from the haze and humidity. The air is fresher here. Bad because coming back means holidays are over and it's all back to study, work and more study!!! The worst is there's no more floorball and even if there is, it is mostly played by myself and perhaps together with my dog.

Z:The league in penang has ended, how did u team 8cers performed in the league? Any words of encouragement to this team?

JY:I think the team did a great job and we manage to hit all our targets and goals set for the league. However, I do believe that we could have done better if players could train together more and know each other's style of play more. Ztec might have won the league, but that's not something BIG to shoutout because Ztec will only and always be Ztec unless everyone train harder TOGETHER as a team and beat ourselves then only can we move up to the next level and make a difference in the floorball arena. Winning the league is a road block for the team. That's perhaps the furthest we can go. BUT, we can go beyond it if EVERONE in Ztec can work together by playing together as a unit and dare to be different than others. Thus, let us all go a distance together and be a history maker in floorball.

Z:7 goals conceded in 5 games for Ztec. How do u feel about this? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

JY:Well, Coach Termin's target was 8 and my target for the team was 10. So, I guess we've hit our target. I felt that we did pretty well because we focused alot on scoring and many times we only played with one defender, but yes, we could have done better. simply because some of the goals conceded was really a give away goal by our defenders and goalkeeper. Those goals shouldn't have gone in at all, but crappy stuff does happen sometimes. Nevertheless, I would say it happened for a good cause for the team because it enabled the team to learn what not to do in the future. If mistakes wasn't done, then I believe there won't be any lesson to learn anymore.

Z: How far can this Ztec8cers team go in terms of achievements?

JY:Like I've said, winning the league could be a road block for the team because what more can you get after being 1st? 1st is 1st. Everyone wants and aims to be 1st. Is there anyone out there aiming for ZERO? Thus, i would say that it's really difficult for Ztec8cers to improve and go far after this. Unless we all come back down to earth and aim for something else, which is to develope a team of new breed that can play beautifully together as a team and not individually.

Z:Lastly, any words of encouragement to the players in Ztec?

JY:There's only TWO things that could happen to you. Number one is to let others be better than you and defeat you or number two, train harder and defeat yourself. I choose number two. What about you?

Hawks Gunned Down by Young Guns

2009-08-08T18:08:00.002+08:00

It was the last game of the match and both teams were eager to prove a point in this final match. Ztec with the title almost in hand were going all out to reach the target set by their coach. For the hawks, they have nothing to lose and were determined to give 8cers a tough time. 8cers were with full strength welcoming back #10 Joon Han after his 2 games absence and captain #6 Oliver Cedric.

Ztec started the match sharp with their captain, Oliver being the first on the score sheet. Jo-Wyee followed soon after with an assist from Sjaiful. The hawks were launching long balls from the back towards their speedy forwards who were working out 8cers defenders all night.

However, Ztec showed why they were champions by consistently scoring with Oliver netting in more than 5 goals for the team. Moy Wei Sern was also on form netting in 3 goals, Termin scored 5, Jo-Wyee got 2 goals while Jun Wooi and Daniel each got one goal.

Minden Unihawks got themself a consolation with JJ scoring from a near range after a pass in by their national defender Christopher.

The final score was Ztec8cers 18, Minden Unihawks 1.

2009-07-31T21:42:00.004+08:00

Ztec8cers beaten Innebandy! Co 5-2 to get closer to their first ever div 1 title. For the players in Ztec, its been already a usual sight to come so close to winning a title and ending up being second fiddle to another team. Past records shows it. 2nd last year in Div 2(losing to Dalat Eagles), 2nd this year in Labor's Day Challenge(losing to Subang Rascals). For some of the players like TerMin, Oliver, Jun Wooi, Ken Wye and Jeremy this record of being second best has haunt them even longer. Being second best in the first ever Penang League, 3rd Youthwave Challenge as well as Roger's Cup 2007.

This year, history seems not to be repeating as Ztec will play Minden Unihawks in the final game and only a scoreline of Ztec losing by 27 goals will see history repeating itself. The game will be played on 4th August 2009 at Balik Pulau Sports Complex(face off 8pm) followed by the award giving ceremony.

Ztec went into the game against Innebandy knowing a lost will dashed their hopes of being champions. The team were determine to attack early. #25 Ter Min captain for the night put the goalie into action just 1minute into play with a drag shot from the far corner. #17Jo-Wyee almost grab the lead seconds later when his volley was pushed away by #31 Linken. It didnt take long after an error by a defender gave Ztec the lead. #25 Ter Min capatalize on the defender's mistake and square the ball into the middle to the unmark #17 Jo-Wyee who calmly finish it.

Innebandy replied with an equalizer after a smooth play. The players exchanged a few passes and #6 Rooban finished it beating #80 Choon Han in the bottom corner. Ztec continue to press on missing several open goals with #16 Moy Wei Sern and #84 Hafidz getting closest to get the lead once again.

Ztec hard work were rewarded moments before the break when #31 Daniel Cheah broke free of his marker, passed the ball to #86 Jun Wooi who square the ball to an unmark #7 Ken Wye who finished the play with a marvelous goal. Ztec's sccond for the game and Ken Wye's 2nd for the league. Immediately after face off a long ball by #2 Sjaiful found #7 Ken Wye in the far corner. A pass to #86 Jun Wooi behind the post, the center calmly wrap the ball pass the goalie to make it 3-1.

2nd period started rather slow with both teams trying to control the pace of the game. #25 TerMin added Ztec's forth with a drag shot after nice runs from his forward patrner #17 Jo Wyee and a screen on the goalie by #16 Moy Wei Sern. Innebandy added another goal through #44 Sam Teoh after a miscommunication with the changes which caused a gap in the middle.

However, Ztec were not over for the night after a typical Ztec play up gave Ztec their fifth and final goal. #84 Hafidz started the play as he retrive the ball back and pass to #77 Jeremy who quickly pass to #2 Sjaiful. Sjaiful found Jo-Wyee and a quick pass to #25 Ter Min who created it back for #17 Jo-Wyee to score his 2nd for the night.

The final score was Ztec 5, Innebandy 2.

Eagles Victim of Ztec's Comeback

2009-07-20T19:15:00.003+08:00

What a wrong time for the older Dalat Eagle players to play against a young and mature Ztec8cers who only manage a draw in their last outing against the Spartans. This match was very important to 8cers as it will determine how the young guns will deliver after their 3-3 draw nine days earlier. Will they bounce back or will they lose focus as pressure mounts up. The answer was simple. Ztec8cers bounce back mightily defeating Dalat Eagles 20-1, the biggest scoreline ever in Penang Floorball League history.

Ztec8cers came into this game 100% focus on getting their league campaign back on track. The coach knew nothing less than a win will satisfy the team and their fans so they went all out for the attack from the first whistle. It didnt take long before captain #6 Oliver manage to draw first blood on the 2nd minute. 6 minutes later, #31 Daniel Cheah grab the second. 4 more goals were scored before the half time. 2 goals from #25 Ter Min another from Oliver and an own goal.

With 6 goals in the bag, 8cers were not over for the night. They were determine to try to score more. The second period was a goal feast. A total of 15 goals were scored in the 2nd period with Dalat Eagles manage to grab a consolation through their captain Jason Selva. Jeremy Yeap did the unusual as he manage to grab a hat-trick in this game.

Below is the full statistic.

1-0 Oliver Cedric (Ter Min)
2-0 Daniel Cheah (Ter Min)
3-0 Oliver Cedric
4-0 Own Goal
5-0 Ter Min
6-0 Ter Min

"Lesson Learned" - ZTEC 8CERS vs Frontliners Spartans

2009-07-03T19:34:00.002+08:00

Twas an ''interesting'' and ''phenomenal'' day, highly dramatic and full of twists just like a movie would have. Many mixed feelings, as Ztec entered the arena from negativity to bad dreams the night before. Dreams such as scoring an own goal, losing 25-o, getting injured and many more. It was the 1st time that anyone, in a long long time, has seen Ztec under perform. We went onto the court prepared for what seemed to be a match already won. That was the problem, that was the moment the downfall began. The team was overly confident and allowed their heads to grow highly out of proportion, we became arrogant, and ignorant.

The match began....

The team went all out to try and score the 1st goal, however it was mostly individuality there was no team spirit, there was no team play and no team... All of a sudden without expecting it, frontliners placed the ball in the back of our net. The team and everyone else (spectators) were dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen? How could this be, what was going on? That was the question in everyones mind. It was very obvious from that point on that the mental strenght of the players dropped drastically. That did not stop Ztec from pressing on, although we had significantly less players than the opponent, tired out, we gave it all we had. Just before the end of the 1st period we bagged an equalizer, the goal was scored by our very own ironman Sherwynd Kessler. KUDOS TO SHERWYND..! We continued to play hard but still not playing as a team, thus the end of the 1st period came.As the players walked out, it was clear to see that hearts were crushed mental dropped, anger and frustration started to kick in.We tried to figure out what was going on the coaches spoke expressing their feelings about how we should play as a unit instead of an individual, we encouraged one an other, put our hands together and with a thunderous roar gave a cheer that would lift our spirits.

The 2nd half began..

Bad positioning cost Ztec a 2 goal lead by Frontliners, forwards drifted to high up leaving the defenders no where to go and no one to pass to, all they could do was to dribble it up themselves or play in their own half. This was a smack in the head for Ztec as frontliners scored 2 goals boasting the scorline for Frontliners 3-1. Ztec needed to do something, to come up with a plan and they needed to do it fast as time was running out. Many thought it was impossible, but the Ztec's captain (Oliver) took matters into his own hands, dribbling past the players of Frontliners and scoring from distance, giving Ztec a glimmer of hope. The forwards for Ztec were still no where to be found, giving Ztec defenders a hard time. Somehow Ztec started, towards the end, to play as a team. The defenders for Ztec started passing among themselves luring Frontliners forwards to commit into stealing the ball. Then it HAPPENED!! Like the crack of the whip, a burst of lightning, faster than the mind could conceive, a counter attack was in motion, allowing Jo-Wyee to score a crucial equalizer for Ztec assisted by Oliver. Ztec tried to go for more than a draw, but it wasn't their day, luck just werent on their side. After many atempts and oppurtunities of scoring, the horn blew loud in the arena. Giving a final score of a 3-3 draw between Spartans and 8cers.

This was truly unexpected, but in everything there is a lesson to be learned, in this case, it is pride do not let pride go to your heads. If you think you are good, there is always someone better than you. Anything can happen in the game. In floorball as an individual, you wont go far, but as a team you can go the distance.

To all who are Ztec, let this soak into your hearts and into your minds, play hard and play smart and most importantly play as a TEAM. To 8cers, do not let this match keep you down, instead let it be a reminder that we need one and other out there. Be encouraged, for we are proud of you, we will make a comeback in our next game, lets make sure of that. We will roar louder, we will fight harder, and we will give our opponents a game to remember.

The definition of a Juggernaut is this:
1. Unstoppable, crushing all in its path.
2. A collective team or group working as one

Ztec 8cers, You are JUGGERNAUTS...So play like one..! 1...2...Whoossh!!

''Over The Ant Hill'' Contact Fireants VS Ztec 8cers

2009-06-18T15:59:00.002+08:00

Upon arrival at the arena, 8cers walked in together full of confidence, motivated with high spirits, with the urge to get the game going, ready for battle. Thus, warm ups began. With a few passes followed by warm up drills the team prepared their minds and their bodies for what might have been one of the most grueling and demanding matches to date.

So it begins...The whistle blows...The team huddles up...

The coaches gave some last minute words of encouragement and reminders of tactical play ups as well as strategies. Hands held high as one team, and with a thundering roar....WHOOSHH!!

The game starts...

It has been a custom for Ztec as whole to start a match at a very slow pace. It has happened many times, noticed by many people, but the tables have turned. Ztec started with a burst of energy, fast as lightning, the sleeping lion has awakened, bagging 2 goals in the 1st minute. An awesome start from Ztec and goals by Jo-Wyee and Ter Min. After much celebration, the game resumes.

The pace of the game and the game itself was controlled by Ztec from that point on, leaving Contact rendered. However players from Contact fought back amazingly giving Ztec a very physical and demanding game. That shows the respect both teams have for each by going all out. Good job Contact Fireants!! Unfortunately, Ztec speed and agility outplayed the opponents. Still in the 1st period of the match, Ztec scored 2 more goals, one from Jo-Wyee and a volley from Oliver assisted by Jeremy who took a shot from half court.

8cers' line 2 did an amazing job at defending and sticking with their opponents giving them a tough time of scoring. Sjaiful, Hafidz, and Daniel Cheah controlled the game from the back, waiting for oppurtunities to play the ball up. Upon receving the oppurtunity line 2 burst and countered their opponents but were unable to put in the ball at the back of the net. Moy, Ken Wye and Sherwynd gave their all at retreaving the ball and trying to score and that is what the coaches want to see, the heart and the determination.

Contact managed to score a goal, however it was disallowed by the referees due to a foul commited the shot was taken and the whistle being blown. Kudos to Contact for trying.

2nd Half..!!

After some words by the coaches and senior players, Ztec was all pumped up with their minds ready and the hearts wanting the win. It was Ztec 8cers objective to score 7 goals that night. And managed to do so. Jo-Wyee being the rebounder followed the game plan and played high up in the opponents court, with that managing to score 2 more goals assisted by Ter Min for the team. Apart from that, the night wasn't over. We knew we could at least salvage one more...AND WE DID. A tremendous solo effort by Jun Wooi placed the ball in the goal. And there you have it, 7 goals scored just as we planned. All play ups and free hits were pre-planned and carried out to perfection. Kudos to ''The Merdeka'', although not a goal, left the opponents dumbfounded and lost for a split second, almost conceiding another goal, but only managed to hit the side netting.

Looking forward for more...!!

To all players, great job and great effort!! To the KL players who came down specially to play we owe you a great deal of thanks. Cant wait to play again.To Adrian, Jack and Teik Hong and everyone who helped, terima kasih banyak-banyak. To ZTEC supporters, although few and limited sound levels, we appreciat your presents there. We played for you, we played for ourselves, and we played for ZTEC. One...Two...WHOOSHH!!

Ztec8cers played their last friendly match before their division 1 campaign kicks off this coming 16th of June. They played Frontliners Spartans whom they will play again in 3 weeks time but this time it will be in the league and it will surely promise to be a more exciting encounter.

The friendly was played in Balik Pulau Sports Complex, the venue of the upcoming division 1. This time only 2 periods were played as the team wanted to test how it feels to play with just 2 period. Face off! It was the Spartans who drew first blood after just 2 minutes of play. However it was not over for 8cers. 8cers hit back 5 goals without return before the end of the first period through goals by #25 Termin, #6 Oliver, #4 Sherwynd and a brace from #7 Ken Wye.

In the second period, both teams played pretty fast floorball with lots of counter attack and hard defending. After much action which is hard to describe in words the score was 12-1 with 2 minutes remaining. Spartans manage to hit in one back with a minute left on the clock. 8cers were determine not to allow Spartans to score the final goal and after a few passes, #86 Jun Wooi found the back of the net with a long range drag. The final score 13-2 to 8cers.

Ztec8cers will next play Contact Fireants on the 16th of June.(8pm face off)

Last but not least, Ztec8cers would like to thank the manager of Frontliners, Jason Chan, the whole frontliners team, the referees, Linken and Kenny as well as all the Ztec players who were there to make this friendly a success.

1...2 WhooooshhhH!!

Hey guys.. Here are some of the pictures from the Labor's Day Challenge 2009.

Preparation For Div 1

2009-05-28T15:16:00.003+08:00

Despite finishing 2nd in last year's Div 2 league, Ztec8cers has been promoted to Div 1 reason being the entrance of other new teams. 8cers would like to make an immediate impact in the league and do the best we can in the upcoming Division 1 league starting on the 16th of June. Games will be played every Tues and Thurs at Balik Pulau Indoor Stadium. 8cers will be registering 15 players for the league this year.

2009 Div 1 promises to be a much exciting league compare to last year as players has improve and also due to playing in a full size ring this year. 8cers would not find it easy this year as they will be up again reigning champions of Div 1, Contact Fireants and reigning champions of Div 2 Dalat Eagles. Other opponents are the fast and speedy Spartans, ever skillful Innebandy Co and the much physical and energetic Unihawks.

Ztec8cers hasn't been preparing much in training but had played a couple of matches as preparation for the league. Here are the results of the last 10 matches. 9 matches played and 1 pending.

20th April: Ztec8cers 24-4 Nomad FC (Friendly)
Nomad came down from Sabah for a tour and face Ztec as their first game with their full strength. Ztec8cers started strong but were a little weak in defence as some silly mistakes proved costly.

1st-2nd May: Labor Day Challenge
vs Dalat Eagles (win 5-0)
Best start in the history for 8cers in a tournament. Have a habit of starting badly but with this scoreline as the start, 8cers played pretty confidently throughout the tournament.

vs Ztec Phoenix (win 7-1)
Despite conceding the first goal, 8cers remained mentally strong to hit back 7 goals against their juniors.

vs Sparx (win 2-0)
With 2 experience players in the opposing team, 8cers were a little careful this time round. Satisfied with the scoreline. However could have been more if it was not for their goalie Lin Ken.

vs Subang Rascals (win 1-0)
Match of the day. With so much experience in both side. Pretty even game. However, Subang were unlucky to concede an own goal.

vs Saints (win 2-0)
With 8cers already through to the knockout as table leaders, they started playing Saints while the players trying out different playing positions. It did not work as the first period ended 0-0. Credit must be given to Saints as they defended very well!

Semi Final. vs Dalat Eagles (won 2-1)
Not as easy as Day 1. Eagles came out soaring in all directions. 8cers were through to the final after a heroic performance by their goalie #80 Choon Hun.

Final. vs Subang Rascals (lost 5-2)
8cers started rather slowly and after few defensive errors, we found ourself 3 goals down. Nevertheless, the boys gave their best and the silver medal is what they got. Good job boys!

May 16: 8cers vs Dalat Juniors (won 26-0)
Boys against Men. It was an average age of 23 against an average age of 14. Credit must be given to the juniors as they played their hearts out although against opponents much bigger than them.

June 10: 8cers vs Frontliners Spartans (won 13-2)
Final friendly match for 8cers. Started badly by conceding the first goal but manage to pick up as the game goes by. Bravo boys! Lets look forward for the Penang League now! Whooooosh!

Men vs Boys

The title sum up this report of Ztec's last friendly match against Dalat on 16th of May. A friendly had been planed between Jason and Ter Min which was actually for the Dalat young boys last match before thier summer break. Dalat, who had an average age of 13-14 years old players(maybe older due to some older boys joining in), expected to play a Ztec team from around the same age. However, after a miscommunication between the 2 two managers, Ztec had half their first team there plus a mixture of players from Ztec Phoenix and Ztec Grifins.

The Dalat boys were shocked to find out that they were playing against players who were double their size and some double their age. Therefore, Ztec decided to play a more tactical game rather than hit and run floorball. Ztec started out rather surprising as we played with six players on court due to our goalie being late. 8 minutes into the game, our goalie turn up.

At the end of the match the score was 26-0 (8-0, 11-0, 7-0) to Ztec. Nevertheless, credit must be given to the Dalat team as they played their heart out and pushed us to the limit. Ztec would also like to welcome #77 Jerm back from the States, not forgetting the referees Kuan Yang and Lin Ken and also Dalat's Manaher Jason. 3 Whooosshhh for everbody... 1..2 Whoooosh, 1..2 Whooosh, 1..2 Whoosh!!

2 DAYS OF SHEER EXCITEMENT !!

2009-05-11T18:35:00.009+08:00

Hey people!! Its been some time since we updated the blog. But here it is, the ZTEC spirit is still alive!

This post is to update the the blog the recent labor day match held at Dalat. It was a long day, Going from morning and stretching till late evening. However, players from ZTEC, both Phoenix and 8cers, gave a 110% all the way without holding anything back. ZTEC is extremely proud of all its players as they played their hearts out as a TEAM and as a SINGLE UNIT despite having to play against each other in one match. This shows that no matter what obstacle falls before us we will face this challenge head on, full of energy, and passion for the game.

Although Phoenix did not make it to the semi's, we would like to make a SHOUT OUT and declare to everyone reading this blog that you people not only WOW-ed the managers and coaches of ZTEC, but also the people and the supporters as well. We could see the hunger and the wanting in the way the team played, and to the coaches that is more important than any sort of individual talent. YOU GUYS ROCK!!

As for 8CERS, we went up against a really tough opponent in the finals, and we stuck it out. Although emotions were riding high, and a few minor mistakes, 8CERS pulled through as a team, gaining the silver medal, whereby team Rascals from Selangor bagged the gold. Congratulations to Rascals and may we play against you again in the near future. 8CERS you guys played hard and played smart, and that is what we value in ZTEC. Keep training and holding the spirit of floorball as we gear up for DIVISION 1. We have 4 weeks left till we go through what can be considered the most gruelling test in floorball this year so make the most of this time.

We would now like thank and introduce 2 players from KL who played in the match stated above, Hafidz and Sjaiful. Thanks you two for making the match interesting and helping us with advice and support. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF ZTEC!! 1...2...WOOSH!!

Here are some pictures taken from Facebook by various sources. Whoever you are mucho gracias!

A Friendly Visit from Sabah

2009-04-23T22:00:00.002+08:00

Recently, Ztec has the privileged to host Nomad Floorball Club all the way from Sabah. The game was played on a Monday(20th April 2009). The Ztec Boys started to arrive from 2.15pm onwards only to realise that their opponents were already there training. Hmmm... This would surely give the Nomad's an advantage as their body were already in high gear compared to our boys who some were just after school.

Ter Min divided them into 3 lines of 4 players each before starting some light warm ups. After some snake drill and passes, the much awaited match began. Number to number, the teams looked equal with both having around the same amount of players.

It didnt take long before #9 Adrian Koay netted his first goal. Probally just 30seconds into the game. Nomad fought hard with very speedy forwards and huge tough defenders. However, Ztec who were the more experienced team overcame the pressure.

However a few shacky defending by Ztec prove costly as Nomad manage to hit in 4 goals. At the end, Ztec won the game by 24-4.

Ztec would like to thank Nomad Floorball Club for coming all the way down and we look forward to playing u guys someday. Keep up the sprit of Floorball!

3 Cheers for Nomad. 1..2 Whooosh.... 1..2 Whooosh.... 1..2 Whooosh
