Slovak Lada defender Rosandic called the obvious choice between the KHL and the national team
Slovak defender of Tolyatti Lada Mislav Rosandić spoke about why he decided to play in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). His words are quoted by “Championship”.
The player emphasized that he made a conscious choice, realizing that his chances of playing for the national team would decrease. “On one side of the scale is playing for the entire season in a team in the best league in Europe, new sensations. On the other is the national team, which I may not yet get into based on sports performance. And these are only 10 matches a year,” said Rosandic, calling his choice obvious.
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 2023, the organization changed its decision, refusing to cooperate with hockey players from the KHL.
Rosandic signed a contract with Lada in August of this year. This season he played 27 matches in the regular season, in which he scored one goal and made six assists.
