Versatile Vincent leads Victoria to B Div floorball 3-peat

Playing in this season's National School Games (NSG), Victoria School's Vincent Hyun has had to adapt.

The 16-year-old, who also plays for local club Black Wondersticks' youth team, is usually fielded as a forward in a conventional six-a-side format. But he has been deployed as a wing-back defender in the inter-school competition, in which the B Division floorball is played in a five-a-side format.

While he initially struggled to adjust to his new role, his perseverance paid off as his contributions helped Victoria clinch a third straight B Division boys' floorball title on April 15 with an emphatic 9-2 defeat of Catholic High School at Our Tampines Hub (OTH).

Flying out of the blocks, Victoria raced to a two-goal lead inside the first three minutes, setting the tone for a dominant display.

Vincent, who scored the opening goal after just 1min 25sec, said he was glad to show that he could flourish in his new position.
