Dominik Hašek is a well-known critic of the participation of Russian athletes in all competitions, a position he has held since the beginning of the aggression in Ukraine.
PrahaIN.cz published a number of materials on this topic, including a large interview with Dominik Hašek, which was published in March last year.
“I don’t watch the NHL or tennis today, because I know that those competitions are supporting the war. Those competitions were responsible for many deaths. I only need to hear the NHL on the radio and I immediately see the dead soldiers or civilians there. For me, human life is clearly more than even the most beautiful game,” said Dominik Hašek, among others.
Great conversation
INTERVIEW: Olympic gold from Nagano, two Stanley Cups and dozens of individual trophies from the NHL. This is a list of some of the achievements of the former hockey…
But the NHL recently watched.
Four days ago, he published the official profile of the hockey club Buffalo Sabres photos and videos on social networks where the legendary goalkeeper starts the match. According to another post, he stayed longer overseas, Buffalo also posted photoswhen the winner from Nagano visited an American football game.
PrahaIN.cz already contacted Dominika Hašek on Monday. We were mainly interested in how the fans there remember him. It’s no secret that the former three-stick guard made a big mark in America.
“I’m abroad, maybe next week,” promised Dominik Hašek.
Excuse
He posted on the social network on Tuesday morning X, where he commented on his participation in the NHL game. He repeated that he does not agree with the league’s position, which allows hockey players from Russia to start, and accepted the invitation from the club at the request of the fans.
“Given this, I consider my participation in the match and its opening to be my huge mistake. I hereby want to apologize to all Ukrainian soldiers and all Ukrainian people who heroically defend not only their homeland, but also the whole of Europe against the imperialist enemy. Furthermore, I apologize to the fans who supported me and continue to support me and to all those whom I disappointed with my actions. I find this personal failure of mine very difficult to excuse. I will try even harder to fix it. At this moment, I can promise you that a similar situation will not happen again,” said Dominik Hašek.
He promised that he will continue to fight to the maximum and defend everything that the terrorist regime attacks and criticize all those who support it with their actions. He also repeated his well-known phrase that even the most beautiful game in the world is no more than human life.
“In conclusion, I apologize once more to all the Ukrainian people who are fighting for their freedom, for us and my country, and I express my maximum support to them. Glory to Ukraine!” concluded the Czech hockey legend.
