Innova's Hockey Hypernovas

The time has come:)

2011-11-03T06:30:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

In less than a month, the annual Hypernova Fiesta will commence and aren't we all excited?!
It is the event where all Hypernovians (former and current) will come together for a morning of fun, laughter, sweat and pain (aftermath of the games). Generations of Hypernovians will gather and I'm sure this year will be no exception!

I just want to share an article i read from The NewPaper on the 03/11/2011.

What caught my eye from this article is the drive and passion of these 'young' men. Despite their age, they are still willing to play and, I'm sure, still passionate about the game. If these men are strong enough and willing to take the time off from their busy schedules, why can't we?

This article got me thinking of those days when I was in school, playing for my team, training for games and friendlies. I'm sure every generation of Hypernovians have their own 'horror' stories but oddly, these 'horrors' are those we remember fondly of our time in school.

The next Hypernova Fiesta is just around the corner (03 December 2011!), a family reunion. A reunion to welcome the new, a time to catch up with old friends. So mark the date on your calenders and come down for a good time! Take a much needed break from studies and work. I'll see you there!

Best Wishes,

my bad. tickets are issued on a day by day basis, not game by game.
whatever it is, ive told mrs nordin the j2 boys want 14 tickets for every match day (group stages) cus i think every day also has a game worthy enough to watch and you guys requested it so to avoid confusion, just get every day.

Hey Hypernovians!
Wow, this blog is really rusty!
Isn't it kind of wasted that we have this blog but it's not in much use?

GIRLSTEAM
_{especially the J2 girls!}

See the smiles and silly faces in the photo?
Right, it doesnt matter if we won or lose the game
What matters most is that we know that we've tried!
Come on girls, let's not allow those killer trainings come to a naught!
If we can survive those gruelling trainings under the hot sun,
we can do ANYTHING!
Yep, or else we would have gotten those ugly sock-lines and fbt-lines for nothing,
RIGHT GIRLS?
So come on, let's not give up and do our very best for the next 2 games!
This time round, we cant blame the weather anymore for any mistakes that we make,
so let's just show off our prowess to the rest of the hockey world!

GUYSTEAM
_{especially the J2 guys!}

Ok, haha. So I admit, this picture is outdated, but SORRY LA, i dont have an updated version.
Look, if any of you guys are seeing this right now,
what on earth exactly are you still doing up online?
GO SLEEP DUDE!
It's the BigGame tomorrow, and you should be resting right now!
It's RJC, but so what?
They just have more neuron connections in their brains, that's all. (or whatever it is that make them SEEM smarter. I dont take bio. heh.)
They have 1 hockey stick; 1 pair of legs; and 2 shin guards, just like every single one of you on the team.
So if you think that they can beat you guys for sure, WIPE THAT THOUGHT OUT OF YOUR MIND!
Cos if they can beat you guys, YOU GUYS CAN BEAT THEM TOO!
Just show them how the handsome dudes from IJC can win them nerds of RJC.
YEAH MAN!

J2s

Times flies, and we're already in our 2nd year at IJC!
This is probably going to be the last school competition for most of us.
So all the more we should grab hold of this opportunity and take advantage of it!
SO PLAY HARD DUDES&DUDETTES OF IJC!
Many of us have undergone changes, both physically and mentally.
We have grown, from a team of noobies (for a lack of a better word), to a team that achieves victory.
Yes, it is true that we have disagreements among ourselves, we quarrel and we fight.
But we have conquered it all.
We have bonded over so many stuff - killer camps, crazy inductions, BBQs and mad camwhore sessions.
In the end, it is the team that bonds that succeeds.
We have bonded, we are a team.
We WILL be the teams that succeed (:

The crucial period

2009-03-15T00:46:00.000-07:00

Camp coming up tomorrow till wednesday.

A Div coming up really soon in exactly a month time...

In exactly a month we will be playing our hearts out to do ourselves and the school proud...

We have trained so hard for the past year and I am sure both the teams will be able to do very well indeed...

The trainings we had and will be having will be hard and torturous no doubt but let it not dampen our spirits...

We will survive through every training, every PT, every critisism to get to where we want

ourselves to be...

We will leap through every obstacle together as Hypernova, as one...

We will survive this crucial month...

We will bring results...

We will achieve what we set out to do...

To give yourself the best possible chance of playing to your potential, you must prepare for every eventuality. That means practice.

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.

A bit of History

2009-02-24T01:42:00.000-08:00

Innova Hockey started in the year 2005 under Mr Hamim Bin Abdul Rahman, former teacher in charge for the Yu Hua Highfliers and Mr Roland Chua Yew Gee, a former player during his JC days in SAJC.

The first captains were: Wei Kang for the boys and Nina Sabrina for the girls. The coach was former national goalkeeper and then national coach, Mr Ronnie Yeo.

In 2006, Mr Joshua Tan, a former player in RJC, NUS and then playing for SHF Club C&C United joined as 3rd Teacher-in-charge.

Several milestones occurred in 2006.

The team was given the nickname "Hypernovas" because of the incredible amount of dedication and passion they had. At one point of time, the hockey team was training TEN times a week, with morning and afternoon sessions everyday.

2006 also saw the introduction of a special training kit. The yellow/blue and red/black design has become a tradition and is still in use today. Each batch now wears the Hypernova training jersey with pride and recognition.

The captains for 2006/2007 were: Muhd Khabir Hakim (Boys Capt), Chia You Ying (Boys Vice Capt), Edeline Phua Sze Hui (Girls Capt) and Cheryl Lee Pei Xia (Girls Vice Capt). The coach was Mr Gordon De Souza who plays for SHF club D'Masters.

2007 brought more milestones in Innova Hockey history. Former women's national player and current Crescent Hockey Club player, Rilaini Sapari joined Innova JC and became one of the teachers-in-charge, bringing with her invaluable experience and skills.

2007 saw the first ever tie-up between Innova Hockey and SHF Club C&C United. Several boys played in SHF Divison 2 alongside vastly more experienced players to develop their skills and game understanding. This experience was to prove useful as the boys clearly improved and they exceeded the accomplishments of their predecessors in the 'A' Divisions.

The captains for 2007/2008 were: Zulkarnain Hussein (Boys Capt), Zulhilmi (Boys Vice Capt), Emil Fazira (Girls Capt) and Ruseedia (Girls Vice Capt). The coaches were Mr Gordon De Souza and Mr Al Faizale Rossellande who played for SHF club Strongchamps.

2008 was no less exciting as Innova Hockey began to branch out to secondary schools. Besides tie-ups with SHF clubs like Police and C&C United, the Hypernovas began to train players from Riverside Secondary School. Efforts were also made to engage Evergreen Secondary and Woodland Ring Secondary.

Under the guidance of the Hypernovas, Riverside Hockey did well in the inaugural Innova Hockey Invitational Tournament that saw them play against 6 invited school teams and finish 3rd despite just picking up the sport.

2008 also saw the first ever Hypernova Fiesta. 4 generations worth of Hypernovas met at the Hockey Village and played against each other. The boys team from the Class of 2008 and the girls team from the class of 2009 emerged as the champions of that inaugural tournament. It was indeed a moving sight to see such a big crowd of Innova Hockey alumni coming back to be a part of history.

The captains for 2008/2009 are: Zeng Heng Guang(Boys Capt), Mohd Asyraf (Boys Vice Capt), Elia Nurbaya (Girls Capt) and Janelle Lye (Girls Vice Capt). The coach is Mr Al Faizale Rossellande a.k.a "Ornet" who currently plays for SHF club Police.

2009 has started off with a bang already: The Hypernovas played in Hockey One's 5-a-side Tournament in the Men's and Women's Open category against top ranking clubs and schools.

The boys team led by Heng Guang faced experienced teams like Singapore Veterans and the Dutch club and emerged 5th out of a field of 16 quality teams. The girls led by Elia defied all odds to clinch the champion's trophy by beating UWC 3-2 in a nail-biting finals.

2009 has also seen Mr Joshua Tan add himself to the Singapore Hockey Federation's Register of Coaches.

February also witnessed an understanding between Innova Hockey and Woodlands Ring Secondary School to help set up and develop a hockey CCA there in 2009.
