Bio
Ryan Samson
Christian has been a long time friend and also one of our longest standing Hockey Ambassadors at Hockey Community. As an ambassador he represents our company positively by establishing a strong hockey community in Antwerp, Belgium. Our team has also attended one of his tournaments in Belgium. His event organization skills are exceptional and are on display as you take part in this global hockey tournament. His approachable and easy going personality bleeds into the culture of the tournament as a very welcoming and camaraderie based event. They call him Chilly Pete! His attention to detail in coordinating the event really creates a memorable experience for all the players that come from many parts of the world. His passion and aptitude on getting people together is inspiring and this is why he makes an outstanding ambassador for hockey community! Keep on rockin’ CP!

I have known Christian for many years from a variety of angles. Firstly, he is a nice guy to be around, a great team player, who never spoils good mood and the team spirit. Christian is also a dedicated volunteer with a huge heart for sports. He has spent countless hours working for Phantoms, the ice hockey team from Antwerp. Aside of his ability to roll up his sleeves and do ‘whatever is needed’, he helped bringing the Phantoms team to a next level. His professional skills leveraged the brand reputation and awareness. The game reports, press releases, media communications, events organized and marketing efforts were incremental in professionalizing the organization. Finally, he is a skilled and experienced professional in the field of communications. He has shown it consistently in all local as well as global positions he has held over the years.
