Every boy is estimated to spend at least 60,000 Yuan RMB (8,698US dollar) annually on ice hockey, according to Feng.
"After Beijing won the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, icehockey is becoming popular here, now we have more than 30 indoorrinks in Beijing, and 10 of them were built up last year. We willhave more boys playing ice hockey," Feng said.
"Ice hockey brought a lot of positive changes to the kids adidas superstar blå tilbud ," saidFeng. "Look at Li, he has never been bullied in school, nobodydared to do it. He works out on the rink three or four times a weekand thanks to that he is strong, powerful and energetic. He nowweighs 70 kg, almost 20 more than his classmates."
Li's father is also gratified to see how playing ice hockey hashelped shape up his son's character.
"He is tough, never gave up until the end of match. I am veryproud of his fighting spirit," his father said. "I think it is dueto playing ice hockey."
Li was one of the talents that caught the eyes of Jay Tredway,sports director of the prestigious Ridley College of Canda adidas superstar 2 tilbud , who setup a two-day training camp early April in Beijing.
