HK Spišská Nová Ves hockey players will enter the extra-league season 2021/2022 in order to show the correct character of the team and delight the spectators.
The newcomer to the highest competition also relies on their support, but this is questionable given the pandemic situation. The management of the club before the season strengthened the staff, who won the promotion from the lower competition and several legionnaires joined the team.
“We want them to be our nasal players who will help with the experience. At the same time, we are still looking for the middle forward in the first formation, who is also a good shooter, “ revealed the coach Miroslav Mosnar.
His team has played ten preparatory matches. “First of all, we wanted to find the right composition of the team, which we did not do very well. We had a lot of injuries, so we have to be more patient in finding player ties in matches. However, I think we already have the basic twins. We want to show the character and play as high as possible. It will be important to play fully in every match. The opening matches will show how we are compared to the other teams and whether strengthening is still needed. “
Mosnár led Spišiakov to advance to the highest competition and gained the trust of the management also in the extra-league season. He has already led Nové Zámky in the highest competition, so he knows what awaits his men.
“We have had quite a change of staff and that’s why it’s important to play. We need to jump on the speed of realization of game situations. These are our biggest challenges for the near future. For this reason too, I am very glad that we played with Zvolen, for example. The match showed us a lot and the players felt the differences. “

In addition to the possible arrival of a midfielder, the start of the experienced goalkeeper Július Hudáček is also in the game. The club management discusses with him the possible work at the beginning of the season.
In the position of captain, Spišiakov will be led by Branislav Rapáč, who also helps his brother Richard in managerial activities. “We did not know how much work will need to be done in order to be able to play the extra league at the required level. The volume of work was really big, that surprised me. But I feel good. I was looking forward to the extra-league season after coming to the club and I’m just looking forward to it now, ” he noted Rapperwho believes that with their teammates they will revive the extra league.
“I think that when we play and all the players we have hired are with the team, we will have one of the best defenses in the league. We also have great quality on the goalkeeper’s post. We have several predatory young men in the attack, who are also excellent skaters. I think we have enough staff to play in the playoffs. “
Spišici advanced to the extra league after the triumph over Žilina in the finals of the Slovak Hockey League. They did not replace any team in the highest competition, as they did not look like it last year. However, the 2021/2022 season will again bring the threat of relegation, the weakest extra-league player will meet the SHL winner. According to coach Spišiakov Mosnár, this fact has affected and will affect the behavior of clubs in the transfer market and may ultimately lead to improved competition. According to Rapáč, it has an increasing level.

“I have been playing the Slovak Extraliga for some year now and I can say that every season is better. I think that if we compared the list of Poprad 6-7 years ago, when I played there, with the current one, it is diametrically different.
Then we played in the quiet middle of the table, but today we would play for the rescue. This is a good example of where the league has moved. Every year, better quality legionnaires come to it, and we at the club are also surprised by the quality of foreign players we brought in. ” he noted Branislav Rapáč.
The extra-league newcomer expects an estimated budget of approximately 1 million euros. This includes the cost of the A-team, but also the overall running of the club. “The income from the entrance fee should be about 30-40 percent of the total budget, we do not know how many spectators will be able to come to the stands. However, the budget from the sponsors is almost covered. Virtually all the sponsors we had last season stayed with us and more were added, “ added Rapper.
