THE END OF AN ERA

The end of an era...

After 22.5 years, it’s time to say goodbye.

A journey filled with unforgettable moments, victories, setbacks, happiness and tears. A journey that shaped me, challenged me, and ultimately made me the woman I am today.

More than anything, I am incredibly grateful. Grateful for every lesson, every sacrifice, every person I met along the way, and every opportunity this sport gave me. It taught me resilience, discipline, passion, and the courage to keep going when things got tough.

What started as a dream in a sport that was barely known in our small country became a lifetime of memories and achievements beyond anything I could have imagined. To have had the chance to represent Belgium on the world stage and make our country proud has been the greatest honor of my life.

As I close this chapter, I do so with a heart full of gratitude and pride. Not for the medals or the results alone, but for the person this journey allowed me to become.

Thank you to everyone who believed in me, supported me, celebrated with me, and stood by my side through every high and low.

This is the end of an era, but not a goodbye to the ice. You will still find me on the ice. ❤️🇧🇪✨
