Comebacky es Komety: Erat is a translator, Holík wants to go to Znojmo at least
“I took a break from hockey almost two years ago and wanted to return to it. I love this sport and I always want to help. The offer from the national team is not rejected. I know what it’s like to train someone on the ice, I’ve experienced it more or less in Comet and I don’t see a problem with that. Hockey is still the same game, it is played with a puck and a hockey stick, “said one of the masters of two Comet championship titles from 2017 and 2018 in an interview with a journalist.
In the new implementation team, the “Brno clique” predominates. In addition to Zábranský and Erat, it also includes the assistant coach of the Comet Jiří Horáček, whom Zábranský brought to the national team in the role of a video coach, which he already held in Brno.
Jalonen also chose his compatriot, compatriot Kall Kaskinen. “When I signed the contract, I asked if I could have one of my people here. I’ve known Kalle for a long time. It is always good to have at least one of your compatriots. They get to know the other members of the implementation team. Every time you meet new people, it takes time, but we discuss the system we should play and everything we need. Martin also works as a translator because a few guys were ashamed to speak English. That’s fine and everyone understands what we want the players to do, “said Jalonen.
Four comet hockey players, Petr Holík, Luboš Horký, Radek Kučeřík, are also present at the introductory national team camp, and defender Tomáš Bartejs has also arrived, but he is only headed to Karlovy Vary.
This is the first event in the senior national team for Kučeřík and Bartejs, Horký made its premiere a year ago in preparation for the world championships in Riga, Latvia.
QUIZ: The glow of the star and the toilet on the ice. What do you know or are you Hockey Comets?
Holík wears the national team jersey after three years when he played at the Swedish Games. “It’s a great return for me. I’m very happy to be here and fight for the World Cup. I was pleased to extend the season and train here, maybe I’ll play a match. I hope to stay as long as possible, but of course everyone wants that. We will only see where we get it, anything can happen, “said Kometa creative center in an interview with ČTK and sport.cz.
He praises Zábranský’s presence with Erat in the implementation team. “It’s definitely nice to know each other so well, because then the jokes go on. I’m glad they’re here, “said the forward, who celebrated his 30th birthday in early March.
In the jersey of the national team, he wants to adjust the taste for the unsuccessful club previous. For the first time in his four-year engagement in Brno, Kometa did not make it to the quarter-finals of the extra league.
Next week, Holík can play in the national team jersey near his home. The national team will settle in Znojmo from Monday, where it will compete with Austria on Wednesday. “I live near Znojmo, so I hope to be on the team. If it works out, I’ll probably have to look for some tickets, “Holík laughed.
