Hockey player Buček said that the Czech club opposed him because of playing in Russia
Slovakia national team striker Samuel Buczek said that the players of the Czech club Oceláří Třinec opposed him because of the game in Russia. His words are quoted by Sport.sk.
“I went into the locker room and all the guys were silent. Then a meeting was convened, at which the team leaders spoke out categorically against it,” said the hockey player. He emphasized that he knew about the attitude of the Czechs towards Russia, however, in his opinion, it was necessary to focus on hockey, and not on politics.
Buchek moved to the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) club Neftekhimik in 2022. He played six matches with the team and did not score points due to injury. In 2023, the forward moved to Ocelarzi and played 44 matches for the club, scoring ten points.
In September 2022, the Slovak Hockey Federation announced that they intend to call up hockey players to the national team in accordance with their current form, regardless of which league they play in. However, in March the organization changed its decision, refusing to cooperate with hockey players from the KHL.
