Andrew Bodnarchuk in an interview: On the way to German citizenship!

An exciting interview with Andrew Bodnarchuk, the experienced player of Kassel Huskies, reveals the challenges with which he is currently confronted. The talented defender cannot stand on the ice due to his naturalization process. Bodnarchuk is waiting for his German passport after passing the language test and describes his situation as frustrating, but he remains optimistic: "I passed all the necessary tests and submitted all the papers. It is no longer in my hands."

Although Bodnarchuk cannot play actively, he remains an important part of the team and continues to train with his colleagues. "There is a lot in it for me. It's still my job, I'm still part of the team," he says. He uses the time to prepare for his return and enjoys the additional time with his family. "My wife is happy that I am a little more at home on the match days," he explains. But the longer he looks, the more frustrated he becomes: "It will also be increasingly frustrating with every game."

team building and new philosophies

In the middle of the challenges that Bodnarchuk experiences through, there are also positive developments in the team. After a turbulent last year, the team has fresh energy and a new philosophy. "As a group, we have to stick together as a family," emphasizes Bodnarchuk. The huskies have adapted to a new, consistent game system to help the players develop better and be successful. "We are working on a system that promises more consistency," he explains.

The importance of the team spirit becomes clear in the interview. Bodnarchuk takes care of the younger players and supports them when they are injured. "I wanted to see how he was doing," he says of an injured teammate. "Everything will be fine! Whatever it is, now it is totally annoying. Nothing that I say now is doing it better at the moment. But you have to know that it is only a little problem and you return more." This shows how important the cohesion and support within the team are while working together on your goal: the promotion to the del.
