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.

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.

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.

Unikátní projekt utkání SHL zahajuje 16.10 v Pelhřimově!
Zcela unikátní projekt utkání SHL (es ejč el) vstupuje do života již příští neděli, kdy budou zcela nově vypsány utkání SHL (připravuje se v e-rezervaci). Myšlenka vzniku pravidelných a velmi kvalitních utkání v rámci SHL vznikla jako důsedek poptávky. Jedná se o vysoce kvalitní utkání pro hráče narozené v roce 1996 -2002 na hřiště velké a 1996-2006 na hřiště malé, velké hřiště se bude hrát ve dvou úrovních AAA (DRAFT) a AA v maximálním rozsahu, včetně rozcvičky, rozbruslení s úpravami ledu, týmy jsou vedeny vybranými trenéry Hockey Talent Academy, utkání rozhodují profesionální rozhodčí se zkušenostmi z ligy, ...
Ve spolupráci s vedením finského týmu Karpat Oulu se nám podařilo získat obrazový materiál z letošního trumfu Hockey Talent Academy na turnaji LIONS CUP 2011!
Na první pohled by se zdálo, že v Hockey Talent Academy je po sezóně, avšak opak je pravdou! Již v sobotu 13.8. se utká Hockey Talent Acdemy U10 v rámci zcela originálního projektu WTT- WORLD TALENT TOURNAMENTS v Benátkách nad Jizerou s velmi dobrým ruským týmem HC Одинцово 2001. V neděli 14.8. se utká tým Hockey Talent Academy U13 v rámci WTT S kanadským týmem Polars Bears Greyeyes 1998. Připravujeme rozšířenou nabídku mezinárodních turnajů a utkání v rámci pojektu WTT-WORLD TALENT TOURNAMENS pro klubové týmy. Díky tomuto ojedinělému projektu se budou moci hráči konfrontovat se špičkovými zahraničními týmy v České republice! Podrobné představení projektu připravujeme...
Konfrontace se světovými týmy opět pokračovala v rámci projektu WORLD TALENT TOURNAMENTS a týmy HTA tentokráte narazily na týmy z Ruska a Kanady.
Hockey Talent Academy 2001 : HC ODINCOVO 2001 /RUS/ 7:2
Při absenci několika základních hráčů A týmu Hockey Talent Academy 2001 nastoupil v utkání s HC Odincovo za Hockey Talent Academy kanadský útočník a nebyl to nikdo jiný než syn Jaroslava Svejkovského /Washington Capitals, Tampa Bay Lightning/ dnes SKILL COACH Vancouver GIANTS/ Lukas Svejkovský, který hru oživil... Od úvodu jsme soupeře zatlačili a vytvořili si řadu brankových příležitostí, avšak brankář soupeře byl výborný a měl mnohdy i štěstí. Tým Odincova bojoval, avšak mnohdy za hranicí pravidel. V týmu HTA byla celá řada nových tváří, na začátek sezóny to nebylo špatné, čeká nás však hodně práce.
Hockey Talent Academy 1998/99 : Polars Bears Greyeyes1998 Canada 10:2
V utkání jsme nastoupili bez Nečase Havránka, Trejbala O., i Kauta, kteří měli klubové povinosti, šanci tak dostali další mladí hráči. Utkání bylo od počátku ze strany soupeře velmi "nečisté" s čímž si bravurně poradilo trio rozhodčích v čele s "ligovým" hlavním rozhodčím. Soupeř nasbíral rekordních 130 trestných minut a 3 hráči soupeře šli pod sprchy. První lajna fungovala výborně a dobře si počínali i hráči ročníku 99, kteří mě mile překvapili. Hodilo by se napsat, že takové utkání nemám rád, což je pravda, avšak právě taková utkání nám chybí... Všechny tři kanadské týmy hráli důrazně, bohužel nečistě. Na některých hráčích je vidět, že s důraznou hrou mají velké problémy, je třeba se učit, čím dříve tím lépe. S podobnou hrou se hráči ve starších kategoriích určitě setkají a na "mezinárodní scéně" už je pozdě...
Utkání sehrané v rámci projektu WTT - WORLD TALENT TOURNAMENTS přímo na ZS v Pelhřimově měli naprosto odlišný scénář a tým HTA poskládaný převážně z mladších hráčů, než měl soupeř k dispozici v obou utkáních jasně dominoval, ale pojďme po pořádku...
HOCKEY TALENT ACADEMY 1998/99 : COWBOYS CANADA 1998 17:2 (8:0, 6:0, 3:2) Kanadský tým nebyl pro tým HTA nebezpečným soupeřem a od první minuty bylo vidět, kdo bude na ledě pánem. Tým Hockey Talent Academy nastoupil na 4 kompletní pětice a po celou dobu utkání nedal kanadskému soupeři vydechnout. Pouze v posledním dějství tempo polevilo a viděli jsme několik "ostřejších" zákroků. Pochvalu zaslouží všichni 3 brankáři, kteří zasáhli do hry, není jednoduché udržet koncentraci při ojedinělých výpadech soupeře...
HOCKEY TALENT ACADEMY 1998/99 : SASKATCHEWAN PRARIE THUNDER 1998 CANADA 7:1 (1:0, 1:1, 5:0) Druhé utkání hrané...

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.
