Our guests for Episode 118 are three young student athletes from our region, Caleb Horner, Collin Moffett, and Anthony Bonari. They are members of the Team USA U16 Ball Hockey tram that is traveling to Slovakia in a few weeks to compete in the world championships.

Caleb and Collin are from Belle Vernon and in the 11th grade a Belle Vernon Area HS, while Anthony is from West Newton and attends Yough Area HS. These guys are no strangers to winning. 

In addition to last year‘s bronze medal, All three play other “mainstream“ sports. Caleb has been a member of the BVA football team that won back-to-back WPIAL and PIAA championships, Collin is a member of the Ringgold PIHL ice hockey championship team. Anthony is also a standout on the ice. 

You may know the sport as street or dek hockey. By whatever name, its popularity is growing around the world. All three our guests were members of the 2023 team that brought home a Bronze Medal from the Czech Republic.

The 2024 edition of Team USA, led by Head Coach Willie Rennebeck and General Manager Ryan Shannon, will compete for the 2024 U16 World Junior Men's Ball Hockey Championships July 4-7 at Niké Arena in Žilina, Slovakia.

The International Street & Ball Hockey Federation (ISBHF) is the global governing body of Street & Ball Hockey.  Headquartered and registered in Prague, Czech Republic as a non-profit organization. The organization has 55 national associations from around the eorkd as members. 

Ball Hockey is a team sport and a close variation of the popular sport of ice hockey. With origins and rules tightly connected to ice hockey, the major differences are that the game is played on foot and a solid surface, most often sport-court or concrete, and a specifically designed orange ball is used instead of a puck.

All ISBHF official events are held in full sized hockey arenas. Check out this interesting conversation with three of our own young men who are representing our country and competing on a global stage. 

As always, the visually inclined can catch it on YouTube, or listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast platform.
