The violent aggression that occurred in an under 15 game raises crucial questions about the future of hockey and the values that we must all defend”, Bruno Santos began by explaining.
“How can we explain to the parents of the victim what was unacceptable? How can we motivate athletes who witnessed such savage aggression? How can we guarantee parents that their children can play hockey without the risk of such regrettable episodes? These are questions that make us reflect deeply. It is inexcusable and shameful. Publicly, I apologize and deeply regret what happened to Nico, his colleagues, Nico’s parents, AD Lousada, Nico’s opponents in the game and everyone else who witnessed this terrible event”, he added.
“The emotional impact is incalculable, and I understand the doubts and possible lack of motivation that this episode may generate. At this difficult time, we are committed to rigorously investigating the incident and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences. The safety and integrity of our athletes are a priority, and we will work tirelessly to maintain the sporting spirit and mutual respect in Portuguese hockey.
