Florent van Aubel is door de FIH (= Internationale Hockeyfederatie) voorgedragen als Young Player of the Year. Zijn prestaties bij KHC Dragons in de EHL en de Nationale Ploeg (EK & Champions Challenge) zijn inderdaad niet onopgemerkt gebleven. Ook onze eigenste Sporza volgt het mee op.

PROFICIAT FLO !

"On the men’s side, the FIH Young Player of the Year nominees feature top strikers Florian Fuchs from Germany and Nick Wilson from New Zealand, both considered to be amongst the most dangerous forwards in the world. They are joined by Florent van Aubel, who has become a key player in the hugely successful Belgium team that achieved direct qualification for the London 2012 Olympic Games as well as winning the recent FIH Champions Challenge 1. The remaining nominees are Billy Bakker, one of the Dutch young guns who played a crucial role in the Oranje’s second place finish at this year’s EuroHockey Nations Championship, and Matthew Swann, a regular member of the all-dominating Kookaburras despite being one of the team’s youngest players."
