Hockey skirmish in Michalovce.
The coaches of both teams, who both condemned the fight and its probable background, also commented on the post-match rift in the areas between the changing rooms.
The organizers, members of the implementation teams and guests were involved in the conflict.
“I agree that this should not happen. This is not good for Slovak hockey, “said the coach of the Michalov team Tomek Valtonen, who had indications that the conflict had arisen after shouting at one of the foreign players of the guests.
“If what I heard is true, I want to apologize on behalf of our club. Something like this shouldn’t happen, especially not in a league that is played at the highest level and with the quality of the Slovak competition. This is not a jungle. We have to respect teams and players, “emphasized the helmsman of Michala’s Dukla.
In a similar vein, coach Spišiakov Mosnár said: “The match was devalued by the fact that things happened that should not happen in the Slovak stadium. It is an insult to the players ‘icebergs’ and the organizing service, as well as attacking and pointing.
This pushes the whole of Slovak hockey down. I’ve seen fans throw something on the ice, but never like that. We can hardly build anything if we don’t respect each other. “
According to the RTVS, the conflict had an end later in front of the stadium, and after another battle, the police were called to the scene.
