Editorial office SPORT.sk and Denníka Šport also have a statement from United School at Slančíková 2 in Nitra, for which Adam Sýkora and Ondrej Molnár played and organized the whole event.
At the Nitra Region Championship school tournament in floorball for high school students, a deplorable event happened for all participants.
The match between SŠŠ Nitra and Zlaté Moravce Gymnasium was held according to rules.
Nine seconds before the end, Adam Sýkora was badly fouled during an attacking play, after which he flew over the post and went down. The referee announced a foul. Adam got up and walked over to the player who was fouling him and verbally warned him that he was really over the line because he was in danger of getting hurt himself. Immediately the Moravian players rallied around Adam. Our players, including Ondro, ran to them to defend Adam. The situation got confused and turned into a mutual shove, which the organizers ended in twenty seconds.
Ondrej Molnár received the first blow in the face, his lip is torn. Ondro instinctively returned the blow, unfortunately, with disproportionate force, causing injury to the adversary. He acted unintentionally, in the heat of battle and in an agitated atmosphere. He regretted his gesture and sincerely apologized.
The situation of our kids is all the more deplorable because they fought for school.
We are sorry that falsehoods are being spread through social networks which are damaging not only our school but also Slovakian hockey.

However, according to one of the witnesses of the incident, Ondrej Molnár was more aggressive and should have attacked another opponent as well. “Throughout the whole conflict, Nitra’s players were more aggressive right from the start. Our guys tried to defend their teammate, because Nitra didn’t care, they chased everyone. At that time I was in the middle of everything.
Ondrej Molnár chased another team-mate to our substitution, where he knocked him down and started kicking him, knees on his chin until his tongue fell out. Luckily, he wasn’t seriously injured in the end.”
Both Ondrej Molnár and Adam Sýkora should appear as early as Monday at the meeting of the under-20 national team in view of the Junior World Cup, which will start on 26 December in Canada. The whole situation is also resolved by the Slovak Ice Hockey Association (SZĽH).
