Dominik Hasek does not want Russian hockey players in Prague. Their answer did not take long

But he was critical of this match Dominik Hašek. The legendary Czech hockey goalkeeper has been a supporter of severe sanctions against all Russian athletes since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Recently, for example, he fully supported the decision of Wimbledon Tennis, which banned both Russian and Belarusian tennis players.

Dominik Hašek does not like the fact that both San Jose and Nashville have Russian players on their rosters who, according to Czech hockey legend, should be banned from participating in the announced October match in Prague. Russian striker Alexander Barabanov will wear the “sharks” jersey this season, while Jakov Trenin is in the “predators” team.

„Ak NHL (taking into account the current situation) wants to allow any Russian hockey player to take part in this match, so I will consider this an unjustifiable decision.

But if the Russian hockey players still have to take part in this match, I will do everything in my power to prevent this duel from taking place in our country. I will address the government of the Czech Republic, the organizers of this event, as well as potential partners and the general public, “ Dominik Hašek wrote on his twitter account.
