A visit by WILSON MOY of Ztec 8cer

Last week, we had the opportunity to host Wilson Moy of Ztec 8cer who came over to Sabah for a break with his family.

A few days before that, we received an e-mail from a ‘Wilson’ who informed us that he was a Penang League player who wished to join us for our weekly ‘grunt’, during his short stay in KK. For a brief moment, we stared at the e-mail uncertain of what to make of it. It was one of those moments where a sense of awe is mix with a tinge of dread. A PENANG LEAGUE PLAYER is coming to our playground!!!

I for one filled my head with an image of a particular bully Wilson I used to know when I was a wee lad, who was like the Hulk (always green and mean!) and always amused himself by forcing us to go round and round and round on the not-so-merry-go-round. When I did finally come to my senses, my beloved el capitan Shawn dropped me another bombshell by telling me that he would not be able to lead this week’s training due to a scheduled office function and gave me the solemn duty of taking care of Nomad and Hulk, er.. I mean, Wilson.. oh, boy…..

I frantically searched around for more information on Wilson. I didn’t have a lot of clues to begin with, as Wilson only mentioned that he trained with the Penang team. However, my weekly AXN C.S.I watching/training thought me to get some leads from our sources in Penang (thank you, Pene) and sure enough, my search was narrowed down to a Ztec 8cer player called Moy…

(Character Profiling of Wilson = League Player + Hulk and had surname Moy). This was it. Ready or not, ♪Wilson Moy is coming to town…♪♪

Training day came and I set a place and time to meet with Wilson @ Hulk Moy. Although we had no idea how he looked like, we relied on the fact that he would be easy to pick-out from the KK crowd since not a lot of Sabahans walk around with their Floorball gear (Plus, he’s the HULK!!)

When we did finally meet up with Wilson, all visions of a Hulkish man with a mean grin quickly vanished as we were greeted by an unassuming young man whose only Hulkish character was his big heart for Floorball. We found out that Wilson is the designated coach for team Ztec 8cer and he spoke passionately about the game and also his future plans for his team as well. After training, we brought Wilson for our customary post-training dinner/supper and Wilson soon found out that our appetite for food is as ravishing as our appetite for Floorball! I guess we are as Hulkish as Wilson as well!! :)

On behalf of team Nomad, we wish the best to Wilson and team Ztec 8cer in their endeavour in the current league and wish to extend our warmest invitation to any visiting Penang Floorball players to join us if they are in town. Just drop us an email, and perhaps a mug shot of yourself so that Leonard doesn’t let his imagination run wild once again!! GO ZTEC!!!!

NFC Floorball Tournament - 24th February 2008

Date : 24th February 2008
Time : 2pm - 4pm
Venue : S.M All Saints, Likas

The tournament ended with a bang with a matchup between NFC (Nomad Floorball Club) and Reloaded. In the end, the champs were NFC yet it was soo close and adrenalinely exhilarating. First runner-up is Reloaded followed by second-runner up Eklektos. 6 teams participated which were divided into 2 groups; Group 1 (Rainfield, Eklektos and D'Gap) and Group 2 (NFC, Reloaded and Power Oranges). Overall it was an excellent game between the 6 teams and the crowd were kept glued to their seats. Such speed and grace till you lost track of the teams. Anyhow congratulations to all teams for making this tournament a success. They'll be more action to come...sooon. As for now enjoy some snippets from the event.

Gaya Street Floorball

From the 19th-21st December from 6:30-11:00 pm, a Christmas celebration was organised by Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK) at Gaya Street. So the Nomads had the privilege to setup a counter specially for floorball where the public have the chance to try their hands at the game for free. The response was awesome. The assistants were kept busy catching flying balls and entertaining curious children and their parents. Everyone was given a strip of paper with the nomads floorball club website written on it. Enjoy the few pictures taken during the event.

The Fellowship Of The Sticks

15th Dec 2007 marked the match aka practice match between Eklektos (BCCM Likas Youth Group) and the Nomads. Well that Saturday was like any normal practice for floorball but today was slightly different. We've had more than enough people till we are able to form separate teams for the dudes and the gals. But of course we started off with an intense warmup of running up and down the badminton court. Then it was time for goaling practice while controling the ball.

Now it was show time. This time we had 2goalies; shawn and leonard for each side of the court. 2 teams each for the dudes' and gals' side. Each game lasted 10 mins but was fast and furious. Yet it was a good experience playing with new friends where we learn to be flexible with people's style. We had a mixture of newbies and veterans yet was a good learning experience.And of course enjoying our new floorball 'kaki'.

Stay tuned for more floorball news=p Cheers.
