The Hockey Talent Academy camps were helping me on my way up since I was 8 years old. I was there almost every weekend, we were going on every tournament. Jaromir Pytlik makes a perfect job, I have learned there everything I know today - “skating and all skills“. HTA taught me a lot and I think it’s the best Hockey school in Czech. I like to go to Telč to Jarda even now between the NHL seasons, in the last year we have added a gym, where I have the newest things available for a functional training, which help me in skating and in general in my game on the ice.
Martin Nečas
NHL player, player of the Czech national team -
I heard about HTA from my younger brother who has cooperated with Jaromir Pytlik for a longer time. I always wanted to improve my hockey skills, mostly my skating. I’m glad that my brother told my about Jaromir. Jaromir pointed out my imperfections to me, but also showed me how to improve them. This year we cooperated for about month where we worked on my skating after which I felt I had made a big improvement. I realize that work on my skating is long-term work so next year it’s definite that Jaromir’s programme is my training choice.
Tomáš Zohorna
Player of KHL, player for Czech National Team -
I’m glad that I can improve myself in Telč under Jaromir’s supervison not just in skating but in all skills. Every training in HTA is prepared in great detail, using modern training techniques and at the highest level. I enjoy learning new skating techniques, puck movement and shooting. I’m looking forward to each lesson on the ice because every exercise is different and varied. I feel that it improves my development and I‘m glad that I can train in such a beautiful ice rink as the one in Telč. It’s for sure that Jaromir Pytlik has a vision and I’m certain that his Hockey Talent Academy offers the best training programme in Czech Republic.
Filip Zadina
NHL player, player of the Czech national team -
I came to Telc this year for the first time. I trained there for about a month to impove my skills, especially in skating and general movement, before my departure to Russia. I must say that his specific training showed me that I have some things to improve. I have to say that one month spent in Telc with Jaromir Pytlik was very useful and I know that I’ll contact him next season too.
Hynek Zohorna
KHL player, player for Czech National Team -
I trained a whole summer in Telc with Jaromir Pytlik who works on skills. It was great that I already had some basic skills for him from the Devils and now I‘m continuing in it here. We do similar things. I feel how much this training helps me. Every player has something to improve, as everybody tells you. The coach Jaromir Pytlik helps me a lot with my skating. He told me where I should improve myself; he understands it very well. I trained a lot in short turns, moving from the corner and similar things. I wanted to improve my technique to be more faster and confident.
Pavel Zacha
NHL player, #6 DRAFT NHL 2015, New Jersey Devils, Daily Sport 2016 -
I started going to Jaromír Pytlik's HTA school when I was about 11 years old. I knew that it would not be possible without great skating, and because I did not have extra good skating in my youth, I chose the HTA program, we paid a lot of attention to it and here I significantly improved it. I remember that in the beginning I wasn’t able to do some exercises, but over time I improved and I felt it on my skating and movement in the game. That's why even now, between the seasons, I regularly improve in his training programs to further improve my movement in conjunction with other skills. In his programs, everything fits together and there are excellent conditions for doing so in Telč.

Na základě ankety o zámořském turnaji uvádím následující informace: Hockey Talent Academy má zájem se účastnit některého ze zámořských prestižních turnajů, avšak......
- HTA si nedovolí vzít odpovědnost za takto malé hráče, považujeme to za riskantní a proto pokud pojedeme, tak pouze s doprovodem rodiče/-ů, tak aby se hráči cítili dobře a užili si turnaj.
- jednáme o podmínkách startu, pokud bude HTA startovat na některém ze zámořských turnajů, budeme se snažit o co nejnižší náklady spojené se startem na turnaji, snažíme se vyjednat co největší podporu pořadatele....
- v případě startu se pokusíme zajistit patrona našeho týmu, přímo v místě z řad hráčů, trenérů, kteří v zámoří působí....
.
Vždycky jsme si mysleli, že cílem každého pořadatele jakéhokoli sportovního turnaje je sehnat kvalitní obsazení, tak aby turnaj měl sportovní úroveň, byl zajímavý.... Každý kdo dělá nějaký sport by si měl zvyknout na konfrontaci s kvalitními týmy, získá tak celkem ostrý obrázek svého snažení, jen tak se může posunout dál a může pracovat na odstraňování chyb.... Naše představa je celkem v kontrastu s tím, s čímž se setkáváme při vyřizování startu našich týmů na turnajích.... Hrajeme fér, podle pravidel, hrajeme většinou na ročníky, neschováváme se za třídy, snažíme se hledat silné soupeře, kvalitní turnaje, jak české, tak zahraniční. Někdy však nepochodíme, nestačí nám, že jsme včas přihlášeni, nestačí splnění podmínek pro start na turnaji.... Většinou rozhodují i takové "malichernosti" jako kalkulace, metení cestičky vybranému týmu, plané řeči o výběrech, reprezentacích, pozvánkách.... Myslel jsem si, že to funguje jen v Česku, ale není to tak zcela pravda.... Máme velké štěstí, že existují i vyjímky - pořadatelé, kterým jde o sportovní stránku, kvalitní turnaj, kvalitní obsazení, fandíme jim a proto děkujeme panu Kolmanovi (Christmas, Easter CUP), Kolářovi (MILEVSKO), Kafkovi (KARTY CUP), Vaňkovi (OPAVA).... Děkujeme všem týmům a pořadatelům za případné pozvání na další turnaj. Kontakt : inThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. I my se budeme snažit přispět dobré konfronta -ci mezinárodním turnajem za účasti předních evropských týmů přičemž budeme usilovat i o start některého přátelského týmu ze zámoří na HTA ELITE CUP 2009 - termín bude upřesněn.

Utkání na celé hřiště, které se mělo konat 20.9 2008 v Pardubicích, včera Pardubice zrušili. :-( pokusíme se narychlo zajistit nějakou náhradu)....
.Jelikož bude Hockey Talent Academy úzce spolupracovat se zámořskými hokejovými projekty, byli jsme pozváni prezidentem turnaje INTERNATIONAL v Philadelphii na jeden z největších turnajů světa. Jelikož je nám známo, že tyto turaje jsou velice nákladné, chtěli bychom se zeptat formou ankety zda by jste byli ochotni ivestovat a jet na turnaj dle ročníků. Máme představu, že v nejbližší budoucnosti se budeme snažit vytvořit v rámci Hockey Talent Academy e-shop s tím, že získanými prostředky z provozu shopu bychom dotovali alespoň část nákladů hráčům co by se turnaje zúčastnili. Takže pokud budete něco z hokejové výstroje kupovat můžete se obrátit nejprve na This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. a podpořit tím projekt zahraničních turnajů. Samozřejmostí je garance nejnižší ceny na českém trhu... :-) Turnaj je 24-27.6 2009 hraje se na ročníky.

I’ve been coming to the Hockey Talent Academy for 3 years now and the camps always have a high quality. A lot of top players, not just from Czech Republic but also from Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany and Austria, are coming here which gives to the camps a high level. I think this project is very interesting for the players, they can compare themselves with others and can learn a lot. I wouldn’t be coming here if I didn’t like it; I think it has a big impact for every player. That is the reason why I have both of my sons here. I think the improvement is visible. HTA focus especially on skating technique which I think is a little neglected in hockey clubs. Here it is made more interesting, giving something extra to make it better, something more that helps the players. Personally I must say that it helped both of my sons a lot. It’s clearly visible that they improved in skating a great deal. This project makes sense.
Michal Rozsíval
NHL player, double winner of STANLEY CUP -
I’m glad I had a chance to participate in Hockey Talent Academy camps as a guest. I would like to come again in the future. I had a chance to help a little bit but also to learn something because I think that Hockey Talent Academy is a very good school not only for young players but also for prospective coaches. The project is managed at the highest level as far as the view of the players and coaches goes. The trainings are perfectly prepared. They train for all situations which can come in hockey. I think that it’s important for every player to get better in each skill and to improve with the help of these special exercises.
Marek Malík
NHL player, player for Czech National Team -
I saw 3 trainings in 3 different categories from the youth players to juniors. The coaches are trying to give them different trainings and to train in several groups. It’s good that each group focuses on a different thing. If the training, especially in skating, is more creative then it will have a bigger impact on the player because skating is the main skill in hockey. You can see that the players here are very well coached and the trainings are of a high quality. It would be good if players have an opportunity to be here for a few days to try something different. They can work on their weaker skills for when they return to their home teams.
Radek Dvořák
NHL player, player for Czech National Team -
I enjoyed the Hockey Talent Academy camp. I had never been on such a hockey camp before as a player. I just saw a few things on video. I think it’s a great thing for young players. Here are a lot of good players and it can help them before the season. The season starts in August so if someone comes 5 times during the summer to this camp it can improve them a lot. I can see here that the coaches dedicate themselves a lot to the players, correcting them, and this must help them in the future. I think we should have more hockey schools in Czech like this one and the boys should visit them. Then our hockey youth could move forward.
Michal Řepík
NHL, KHL, SM league player, player for Czech National Team -
I don’t see any difference between HTA and academies overseas. I think it’s an important thing that they are doing that with the same methodology. When I was looking for something similar and searching for a partner in Czech Republic who would have similar ideas and really care about the player and his individual preparation and how to teach them hockey, I found Jaromir Pytlik. Our aims are very similar in some points because the idea is similar and that is the important thing. Honestly I can’t tell if the academy here or those in Canada are different; we do it specifically and they do it also specifically. I’m glad when I come here and can help them and I was also glad when they came to Canada for 10-days training - in fact we’re helping each other. I’m glad to see other training groups and like to educate myself as a coach; it’s very important for me.
Yogi Svejkovsky
Canadian Skill’s Coach, Assistant Coach for WHL, former NHL player -
Jaromir introduced a very good skating program for our team which leads to better effectiveness in movement, especially slides. I’m happy to see Jaromir’s own skating ability; it’s always better when the instructor impresses the players with his own presentation so much that they want to improve and skate as he does. I liked how Jaromir separated his own moves to shorter and basic elements of the skating which he then put back together in a most effective move. Even the best skaters from our team had a challenge with the difficult skating exercises which Jaromir first showed them before helping even our best skaters to get better. As a head coach I was really pleased with this cooperation and was really glad that Jaromir worked with our players in such a way. The players improved their skating thanks to the skating exercises he showed them and then they started work on their skating improvement by themselves when Jaromir was absent. It’s proof of a well done job.
Jeff Tomlinson
Canadian professional coach, Assistant Coach of German National Team -
Thanks to my friends I got know the HTA camps. I looked at some videos on the internet and must say that I liked their work very much. That was the reason to bring my son here. I saw that the kids who were here already last year had got better and I hope that my son will like to come here as well. Today was the second day of the camp and he was really excited. HTA does a very good job with young players and pushes them forward in their career. The trainings are perfect, with all the things you’re not able to do during the season in your club and you can see how the players are getting better. I believe that this academy will continue to run well and will create some of the best players not only for Czech Republic and Slovakia but also for neighbouring countries.
