I was born in Vienna which is the capital city of Austria, Europe. Both parents, all four grandparents and almost everybody else of my family was born and raised in Austria. So it has always been my dream to play hockey for my beloved country Austria.

As I was first invited to play for Team Austria as a ten year old I was so proud. It was a great feeling to wear the red and white jersey with the Austrian eagle on the front of it. My first (inofficial) national team game was against Hungary in September of 2011.

Since then I have been invited to play for my country several times. My first official national team game came in August 2015 where our U16-Squad played against Italy. First game, first win; 4:3. Great feeling.

At the moment I play for the U18 national team.

Here are some impressions of this year's summer camp.
