Hašek doesn’t beat the NHL only thanks to the Russians. He now also writes for ATP and WTA tennis

So far, he has pushed his efforts to the max before the autumn NHL duels in Prague, where he tried (unsuccessfully) to prevent the start of Russian hockey players in the O2 Arena, including with the help of lobbying at the highest level politicians to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

His statements and activities did not go unnoticed throughout the hockey world from Russia to abroad.

However, the famous “Dominator” does not intend to limit himself to the NHL, according to his words, he is now putting pressure on the top of world professional tennis, more precisely on the WTA and ATP circuits.

“Today I finished the letter to the NHL, WTA and ATP. I will translate into AJ in the next few days and leave next week. This time, unlike in March, when I only wrote about the NHL (Gary Bettman), I will also present it to the public” Hašek wrote on his Twitter account.

He did not specify what the letter is supposed to be about. However, considering that, besides the NHL, the ATP and WTA are pretty much the only significant organizations that allow Russians and Belarusians to continue competing in major international events, it can be expected that Hašek will back sanctions against players from these countries.

The Olympic champion from Nagano after the September NHL matches in Prague (also with Russian players) asked among other things to resign from the leadership of this competition.

“2 NHL games were played in Prague over the weekend. The NHL leadership, headed by Gary Bettman and Bill Daly, did not respect the position of our State Department that Russian players should not play. Until l The current NHL leadership will not step down and the new leadership will not apologize to our democratic country, the NHL will no longer be welcome in the Czech Republic,” Hašek wrote on his Twitter at the time.
