Inline Hockey Ireland joins the Ballymena Knights and the wider hockey community in mourning the sudden and tragic loss of Jakub Polasek. Jakub, a beloved figure in the Ballymena hockey scene for many years, passed away unexpectedly, leaving a void that will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
A native of Cullybackey, Jakub was a prominent player in both inline and ice hockey. Known for his immense passion for the sport, he was a teammate who brought not only great skill to the rink but also an infectious enthusiasm.
