Michal Čajkovský set a shooting record in the KHL last season, when he scored twelve goals from the position of defender and even scored a hat-trick. After three successful seasons in Dinamo Moscow, everything indicated that even in the fourth year, a well-built hockey player will be one of the mainstays of the defense of an ambitious team.
However, an unfortunate injury came when his teammate cut his thigh muscle with a skate. The 27-year-old native of Bratislava got together, but he didn’t get a good chance. The club unexpectedly exchanged him for Siberia Novosibirsk, in whose jersey he should make his debut on the ice of CSKA Moscow tomorrow.
From the Moscow peace to Siberia
Are you surprised by the exchange from Dinama Moscow to Siberia Novosibirsk?
“I must admit I did not expect it. They told me that the injury was my fault. They gave me a chance to play only two matches for five minutes in the new season, and then they told me it was a business and they exchanged me to Novosibirsk. ”
Apparently shocked when a player cut your thigh muscle with a skate and called it your fault?
“Unfortunately, so is hockey life. I don’t know what else to say. ”
Has your position in the team changed after the departure of coach Vladimir Krikunov, who was replaced by Alexei Kudashov?
“It usually happens that the new coach has his players. I think that in three years I played good matches for Dinamo and I unlocked it on the ice. I was disappointed with how they treated me. ”
You have gone through many difficult situations in your career. This probably doesn’t just bother you, does it?
“I thought I was fine in Dinama, but again, it convinced me how things could change from day to day. But we’re moving on. ”
In the fourth season in Moscow, you probably already had a well-arranged life in the city …
“Yes, after all, my wife and I have a small son, and we wanted us to have everything at our disposal. We have furnished a nice apartment. Too bad they didn’t tell me what they were thinking in the summer. During the preparation, there was nothing to indicate my exchange. It’s been down water since I got hurt. ”
How is the leg operated on?
“I need to strengthen and strengthen it, but I still had a muscle in two pieces. I stretch the problem area and involve it in the process. They operated on him well. I walked on the barrels for three weeks and slowly started to run into full load. It’s not pleasant, but I have to fight it. I hope it was my last serious injury. ”

What can you say about your new team?
“They want to help me in defense, as well as in power play. They would like to return to the playoffs. We’ll see how it goes, after all I haven’t played live matches in half a year. I don’t count the current two for Dinamo, as I only skated for a few minutes. I’m not arguing, but I need to get up to speed. ”
Are you ready for the Siberian winter?
“I lived for two years in Yekaterinburg, where I experienced frosts to minus forty, but it is true that Siberia is probably a different degree. It seems to me that it has already started snowing. But I’m going there to play hockey in the first place. ”
Novosibirsk awaits a duel in Moscow against CSKA. Will you already be playing?
“Yes, I should have the premiere against CSKA in a new jersey.”
You had a valid contract with Dinam until the end of the season. What does your contract look like in the new team?
“They took over my contract from Dinam and we agreed on another year, which means a two-year contract.”
Do you take your family to the city?
“Not at all now. They fly home to Bratislava. First I have to arrange myself there, then my wife and son will come to see me. ”
Injuries excluded you from the last world championship, as well as from the Olympic qualification. You probably don’t want to miss the Beijing nomination all the more.
“I would like to play at the Winter Olympics. I’ve always liked to represent, nothing changes that. ”
