Greetings from the Head Coach
My name is Hunor Marton. I am a hard-working, ambitious individual with great passion for ice hockey who always strives to achieve the highest standard possible, at any given task. I am reliable and persistent. I am eager to new challenges in order to learn and grow. After 3 years playing as a professional hockey player in Romania the next step in my path was coaching, for which I completed a coaching school in Bucharest (National Center for Training and Improvement of Coaches) while I was doing my coaching at U16 age groups.
I came to Finland in 2017 where in my first year I was coaching in U18 Pelicans Academy. The second year followed the Vierumaki United team. Currently I am serving an internship as a part of my Degree Programme of Sport Coaching & Organization Management studies. I have been specializing in ice hockey at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences in the Sport Institute of Finland.
My focus is on player development, and to get the maximum out of every single player what they could apply not just on the ice, but off the ice as well. I always try to learn new things and develop myself as a coach what I can utilize and share with the athletes.
In the 2019-2020 our goal is to create an environment and build a culture where players can get the maximum out of themselves and their peers. Focusing on the individual development of athletes to maximize their potential, and to achieve success individually and as a team. We focus on the physical and psychological growth by monitoring and collecting data from players.
Our long-term goal is to put Vierumaki United’s name back to Mestis level.
We want to go far and if we want to go far, we have to do it as a group.
