As the year comes to a close, our Champs pause to reflect on the moments, lessons, and growth that shaped their journey. Through questions and a fill-in-the-blanks ending, they look back on the past year while setting their sights on 2026.
What's one moment from 2025 that made you proud to be a RED Champ and why?
Michelle: The Red Gifts A Stick event. Being part of this supportive initiative and hearing the awardees’ passion and hard work made me excited for the future of Singapore’s floorball.
Haris: Coming back from an injury just three months before the SEA Games. Pushing through that challenge showed resilience and commitment, values I believe in. It was tough mentally and physically, but with support from friends and family, I made it through.
Ethan Wong: I would say the most recent SEA Games was a great example of a time when I was proud to be a Red Champ. Although we did not manage to win the gold, I’m proud of myself and the team for fighting in every game and giving our all until the very end. Even though we came up short against Thailand and the Philippines, I felt the hunger and determination from the team and my teammates.

Darwish: I think one of the proudest moments of being a Red Champ is having the support from all the Champs, and even those behind the scenes, to stay motivated and keep going. This year wasn’t just full of floorball, but also other aspects of life, especially starting and embarking on a new phase in life and beginning a career.
Imma: During the Special Jio event, we were able to meet young players and simply enjoy playing floorball with them and each other. It reminded me of the joy and community spirit in the sport, and how important it is to inspire the next generation.
Gerald: One moment was the day my A-Levels ended. The feeling of getting through the toughest part of balancing studies and floorball was incredible, and it made me proud as I had overcome a huge obstacle. It made me feel like a Champ in my own unique way.
Ethan Teoh: There wasn’t a specific moment when I was proud to be a Red Champ, but honestly, I feel proud all the time. I truly cherish the time spent with my fellow Champs, sharing experiences, supporting each other, and reliving our moments together. That sense of community and belonging makes me proud every day.
Issac: Proud of playing in the Premier League final and winning it. I couldn’t play last year, so finally getting the chance to contribute and be part of the victory was an amazing feeling. It reminded me how much hard work and perseverance pay off.

If you could relive one game or training session from this year, which would it be - and why?
Michelle: It would be the game against Finland at the World Games back in August. Although it was a tough loss, we finally had the chance to face world-class players whom I look up to on the global stage. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and an honour. #Suomi![]()

Haris: The Premier League final. The game went to extra time and penalties, and it was my first match back after injury. The energy and morale in Orion were unreal, with everyone locked in and supporting each other. Moments like that remind me why I play floorball.
