Part 1 - A recap of the past weeks – full of sport, people, learning, and inspiration. 🇫🇷 IIHF Global Hockey Forum What a privilege it is to work in sport. Over the past two years, I had the chance to contribute to the Global Hockey Forum on a strategic level – and only now, looking back, I realise how much has evolved since those early discussions and how impressive the final result turned out to be. A special highlight for me was the morning activation: bringing people together through sport. More than 100 participants joined, creating a strong sense of energy and connection. It was truly special to see how the IIHF staff managed to deliver such a high-quality event – with passion, professionalism, and dedication, all on top of their daily work!! A remarkable team effort – a big thank you to everyone involved behind the scenes and throughout the preparation: Malin Vestin, Hannes, Blanka Elekes, Kalle Väliaho, Kris, Kim, Ashley Ehlert, Janita Suomalainen, Enid Eicher, Jakub Mihule, Cécil Gehringer, Stefan Grauwiler, Szilard, Adriaan, Naomi Bloetjes, Daniel Steiger, Andrea N.
