The best tennis player in the world autographed the helmets of the little athletes and took pictures with them. In August, Ion Țiriac announced that Simona Halep will financially support a junior ice hockey team, which will bear her name.
Simona Halep’s team plays in pink “I am proud and happy that after not even a year we have these kids on the ice who do 4-5 practices a week. I saw them now and was amazed. You can see that these kids have a future in hockey. There are two teams and we will do more. These teams are supported by sponsors. And for a reason that I did not understand, Simona Halep wants her hockey team . And these sponsors pay for the maintenance of this rink. Equipping a whole team does not cost you more than 10,000 euros, including skates, defenders, sticks and so on. I don’t know how to kiss the hands of these sponsors, because this ice rink costs somewhere between 6-700,000 euros per year”, signed Țiriac at the time.
The playing shirts of the ice hockey team sponsored by Simona Halep are pink and are inscribed with the name of the WTA leader. Darren Cahill, her coach, was also present Several personalities participated in the event, including the Australian Darren Cahill, Simona Halep’s coach, Andrei Pavel, another member of the technical staff of the athlete from Constanța, Ilie Năstase and Ion Țiriac. The latter stated that “if we build 50 ice rinks, in 15 years we will be in the World Group in ice hockey. The children still come to hockey! I spoke with the mayoress Gabi Firea, I hope that the reconstruction works of the Mihai Flamaropol arena will be accelerated”.
