Bintaro Jaya XChange hockey practice

Andrew's birthday was actually friday, but we were celebrating his birthday with his new teammates this Sunday. Why? Well, a patient of mine designed a birthday cake much larger than I had thought it would be, and when I say it was huge,…it was HUGE.
Andrew's birthday cake



There are usually about 8 kids that show up to the Sky Rink in Jakarta, but there was about 26 kids and 5 instructors at Bintaro. The instructors were pretty much following a protocol. It looked a lot like Gary Tan's protocol. This is what the players need. They need this weekly systematic format in order to get better and improve.

The coach said that shortly he will be selecting his "traveling squad" to Malaysia for the Jr. tournament in August. We hope that Andrew is on this team. I think he personally deserves to be on it. Hopefully there isn't any "politics" behind their decision making…yes, even in Indonesia, we have this going on. Haykal, Edbert, Refa, Andrew and a few other boys (Arthur, Dominic, Kevin, etc…), should be on this team. We definitely are going to allow Andrew to stay at Bintaro. It is a much better environment there. Better coaching, more players, and he'll improve much faster.
