During the Men´s WFC 2016, the players from all of the participating teams will have the chance to vote for the male representatives on the IFF Athletes´ Commission. The IFF has received 8 male nominations: Shaun Frazer (AUS), Tomas Sladky (CZE), Tero Tiitu (FIN), Junoh Lee (KOR), Ole Mossin Olesen (NOR), Johan Samuelson (SWE), Manuel Engel (SUI) & Manaure Russo-Mendoza (FRA). 

Four male representatives will be elected to the IFF Athletes Commission (ATC) for the next four year period and the results will be announced in February 2017 after the elections for the female candidates, which will be held during the Women´s WFC Qualifications.

Here we meet Johan Samuelsson from Sweden and Shaun Frazer of Australia.

 

Johan Samuelsson, Sweden
Age: 27 yrs  Current Club: UHC Tigers Langnau (SUI)  WFC´s: 4 (2010-2016)

Johan is the captain of the Swedish team. He has played 75 internationals and has two WFC gold medals (2012 & 2014).  He was one of the top international transfers when he moved this year to Switzerland to play with UHC Tigers Langnau. He has studied education and is currently working as a teacher.

“After seven years as a player on the international scene where I have been able to affect things on the field, I now feel that I have the experience and knowledge to affect things outside the field.”

 

Shaun Frazer, Australia
Age: 26 yrs  Current Club: Newcastle Cobras (AUS)  WFC/Q´s: 3 (2010-2016)

Shaun captained the Australian team in their successful qualification event, where they won the AOFC title. He not only plays floorball but is also involved in club administration and the coaching and mentoring of young players. As well, he is helping the regional floorball body to develop an elite series. He studied Physiotherapy and is currently working in that field.  

I believe that I have the enthusiasm and motivation to be a valuable member of this commission and I would also greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn and develop more skills to further develop the sport on a local, national and international level.”
