A bet on history, detail, emotions linked to loved ones. All of this is evident from the piece that Pelhřimov’s Ice Bears ice hockey provided as recruiting material.

Simple in appearance, but absolutely nothing sloppy and absolutely nothing that can be done in five minutes. The authors really played with the theme for a small club and can be proud of their achievement.

“There are two ideas in the video. The first is generally that anyone can play hockey. But since we know that not everyone can afford it, we show that it is also for children who would not normally have this possibility, “says Bezděk for the hokey.cz website.

Remember that creating the video took a lot of time, the efforts of children, coaches, parents … “I can’t even count how much time we spent on it. Each scene lasted several hours and the result in the video sometimes doesn’t even last. ten seconds “, continues the youth coach.

With enthusiasm, he was obviously passionate about the idea and was able to pass it on to those around him. “Sure, there are some recruiting videos in the Czech Republic, but we tried to do it a little differently, not just in the form of footage where kids play, roll around on ice and the like. We wanted to take it somewhere different and I think that our video can help other clubs in recruiting as such, because the whole republic is facing this problem. “

The coach remembers what the hardest part was … “Agreed on the script. To the fullest extent, it was the work of Michal Burda, who wrote, shot and edited the whole thing. We spent a lot of time trying to get it right. agree with the coaches and parents on what it would be like. And he and the whole filming process was pretty complicated, because every scene was shot in a different location and the whole crew, including the equipment and lighting , he had to go somewhere. “

The coach believes that the video appeals to children, but it should be aimed primarily at parents. “It has to attract them, because we know that a five or six year old does not usually come in the cold alone. The parent also has to want to support the child a little. For the most part, it is aimed at adults, parents, so that they can give this chance to their child, “says Pelhřim’s coach, adding that they don’t have that many in the kids’ club, but compared to larger cities nearby, such as Jihlava, Havlíčkův Brod, Třebíč, they are a bit back: “I think it could change in a few years,” adds for hokey.cz.
