HC Košice Let's not forget about the clubs, PLEASE. There are NO doubts about Miro Šatan's, Craig Ramsey's, and their team's hard work and good decisions. There were actually 5 guys from the Slovak league in the squad. Almost all clubs in the Slovak league are on the edge of survival. Many (but not all) clubs invest HUGE money in youth development. Youth coaches in Slovak clubs deserve their tributes too. We can bring up great players in terrible conditions. Let's try to bring them up in perfect conditions and check the results ;) I am truly proud that HC Košice and its partners managed to keep the youth coaches (paying them) despite the training process blackouts in past 2 years. They have historically paid back everything with the names such as Erik Černák, Tomáš Jurčo, Christián Jaroš, Martin Marinčin, Juraj Slafkovský, Jakub Demek, etc. PS: Photos made in 2018, guys U16 finished 3rd in Slovakia led by Slafkovsky, Faith, Kupco, Demek, Novota, Ragan, Jacko, Belusko, Elias Kmec, Bartos, Jurcak ... names we maybe will hear about soon :) PS2: Do you recognize "Slafko" on the photos? #hckosice #mysmehckosice #hcke #keway #hockeyslovakia
