“The ten players from the NHL are already in the Czech Republic and will be training in Brno on Tuesday afternoon. As for the defenders and forwards, they will get at least two games in the tournament. We have not yet specified the workload of the keepers, who have all flown in from abroad,” said Rulík.
“We are still thinking which of the additional league finals we will bring into the Brno camp, maybe Wednesday or Thursday,” said Rulík. Currently, the national team has three goalkeepers, nine defenders and twenty forwards.
At the same time, Rulík decided that the goalkeepers Klimeš, Frodl, J. Málek, the defenders Šustr, Pyrochta, J. Galvas and the forwards Filippi, Rychlovský, Kantner will no longer continue to prepare for the Prague tournament . “The decision after a run of six victories was not a one-man decision. In the end, we came to the decision to say goodbye to nine players, three in each position. There can always be a conversation about it, but we had to tell someone that it wasn’t happening anymore. The quality of the players is the deciding factor here, and it will become more towards the final selection,” explained Rulík.
The last part of the European hockey tour will be held between May 2 and 5 in Brno under the name Betano Hockey Games. The Czech Republic will be home against Finland there on Thursday at 18:00, Sweden on Saturday and Switzerland on Sunday, while the two weekend games of the national team will be on the program from 16:00.
