7 NHLers accepted the invitation from team staff and will reinforce them at the World Champs. Now, that is what I call some devotion at the end of such looooong and difficult season ! Coach Kari Jalonen can count on goaltender Karel Vejmelka, defenders Filip Hronek and Radim Šimek and forwards Tomáš Hertl, Jakub Vrána, Dominik Simon and Dmitri Jaškin. In other hand among the most famous names Jakub Voráček and Dominik Kubalík refused the invitation and will not play at the worlds.

Hard to say, but I doubt we will return anytime soon It is complicated topic and depends on several factors. The truth is that for different reasons (First, the competition is always in May during the most watched event in Slovakia, the World Hockey Championships, no normal TV in our country will spend so much money to have a program which will hardly achieve 10 % viewership as max, but mainly the general disinterest among population caused by very poor results and that weird feeling about eurovision being non-objective and fixed competition - I swear this is what people says here ), that competition has never been successful or watched. For example, I am convinced that the vast majority of people do not even know who won the last edition. I personally do not remember when I saw Eurovision for the last time, maybe more than 10 years (but this mostly due hockey worlds, not because of personal boycot or something like that ).
