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.

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.

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.

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.

Jaký byl Easter Cup 2010 ? / ročník 2000 a 2001 /

tym2000 Od pátku 2. dubna do neděle 4. dubna se tým HTA zúčastnil hokejového turnaje EASTER CUP v Mostě, kde odehrál celkem 5 zápasů. Systém turnaje byl takový, že o medaile se utkají pouze vítězové ze čtyř základních skupin. V jednotlivých skupinách se střetli vždy čtyři celky během pátku a soboty každý s každým, semifinálové zápasy a finále se hrálo v neděli.

Zápasy ve skupině : Prvním soupeřem byl celek Zbraslavi, za který nastoupili převážně hráči roč. 2001. M.j. za náš tým nastoupilo shodně 7 hráčů ročníku 2000 a 2001. Od začátku zápasu jsme na ledě diktovali tempo a bylo otázkou času, kdy vstřelíme první branku. Stalo se tak, ve 2. minutě a do konce první poloviny jsme skorovali ještě dvakrát. Po přestávce jsme přidali dalších pět branek a celkové skore bylo 8 : 0. Druhým soupeřem bylo mužstvo Kometa Úvoz Brno a průběh zápasu byl obdobný. Kluci předvedli nemálo krásných hokejových akcí, ale proměnili pouze pět šancí a zvítězili 5 : 0. Tímto zápasem skončil první hrací den a mohli jsme jít krátit volné chvíle na hotel Cascada. Další a zároveň poslední sobotní zápas byl s jediným zahraničním účastníkem turnaje a tím byl kanadský celek Willbes. Kluci byli na tento zápas natěšeni, ale kvalita soupeře nenaplnila očekávání a po výborném výkonu celého mužstva jsme zvítězili 13 : 0. Naší skupinu jsme vyhráli s celkovým skorem 26 : 0 a mohli jsme se těšit na nedělní semifinálový zápas s výběrem East Bohemia.

Volný čas : Jelikož bylo během třídenního turnaje dost volného času trenéři se snažili o vyplnění volného času a podle ohlasů rodičů se to povedlo na jedničku. V sobotu odpoledne jsme se vydali na místní hrad Hněvín, odkud byl nádherný rozhled po krajině. Nedělní odpoledne jsme si zpestřili výjezdem do hnědouhelného povrchového dolu.

Semifinále : Soupeřem byl celek East Bohemia a zápas to byl úplně jiný, než odehraná utkání ve skupině. Kluci začali výborně a do vedení jsme šli již ve 2. minutě. Když jsme ve 12. minutě vedli už 3 : 0, zdálo se že to bude snadnější než jsme očekávali. Bohužel v poslední minutě první poloviny nám soupeř vstřelil branku a snížil na 3 : 1. Tento zápas byl chvilkami ze strany soupeře dost přiostřen, ale naši hráči se nenechali vyprovokovat a pokračovali ve svém výborném výkonu. Nakonec jsme ve druhé polovině branku dali jenom my a konečný výsledek byl 4 : 1. Po konečném hvizdu jsme se mohli radovat a těšit se na finále s GOOL týmem.

Finále : Boj o zlato byl bezesporu vyvrcholením celého turnaje. Na rozdíl od semifinálového zápasu to nebylo tolik o zastrašení soupeře, ale spíše o bruslení. Šance se během celého zápasu střídaly na obou stranách, ale bohužel vítěz může být jenom jeden a tentokrát byl šťastnější náš soupeř. Jediná branka rozhodla o celkovém vítězi, kterým se stal GOOL tým.

Za náš tým nastoupili : Janáček Martin, Kolář Kristián, Kyncl Michal, Trejbal Michal, Kolář Petr, Toman Matěj, Indrák Daniel, Kolda Matěj, Mazura Tomáš, Ganz Michal, Novák Jakub, Kubíček Šimon, Dubovči Dominik a Reisnecker Filip. zpracoval Petr Kolář

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.

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.
