Multicultural street hockey

Multicultural street hockey

At the Institut de recherche en biologie végétale, students, researchers and research professionals play street hockey each week. Before each meeting, we make two balanced teams with the players that are present. The pleasure is always there, and everyone is happy to be at the IRBV.

At these meetings, we realize how multicultural the world of research really is. For some, foreign students, for example, it is thir first opportunity to hold in their hands a hockey stick.
