JR Roux (17) is part of South Africa's under-18 ice-hockey team, thanks to skating at the Kolonnade Shopping Centre ice rink. The Grade 11 pupil at Höerskool Overkruin started off six years ago just for fun but he was quickly spotted and soon represented Pretoria in ice-hockey competitions. He leaves next week for ice-hockey tournaments in Romania. JR trains mostly at night, for four to five hours and four days a week.
