Source: TASR/Radovan Stoklasa The Slovak Hockey Association announced last week that players working in the KHL can represent Slovakia at international events. Now conflicting information has emerged from one of the executive committee members. Wasn’t there a vote? He claims that “this decision is not the result of any vote,” points out český sport.cz. According to Branislav Semančík, the final verdict should have waited. Because of this decision, the former Slovak representative Michal Handzuš resigned from the post in the executive committee. “I can’t imagine my further work in this direction of the organization,” said the gold medalist from Gothenburg. According to the statement of the executive committee, hockey players operating in Russia do not violate international agreements or laws. Slovakia surprisingly went against the flow with this decision. Most European countries, including the Czech Republic, Sweden, Latvia, and Finland, have banned players from the KHL from representing. Should have waited Even important corporate sponsors, such as Orange Slovakia, Škoda Auto Slovakia or Kaufland, do not agree with the hockey association’s decision. Semančík claims that, although the executive committee dealt with the topic, it did not vote at all on the KHL players in the national team. According to him, all those involved, including the president of the union Miroslav Šatan, agreed that “they will wait for the next joint meeting with such a serious decision.” Currently, eight Slovak players are active in the KHL: goalkeepers Adam Húska, Patrik Rybár and Július Hudáček, defenders Christián Jaroš and Michal Čajkovský and the trio of attackers Samuel Buček, Adam Liška and Michal Krištof.
