“A lot of people from hockey encouraged me and persuaded me not to finish. Many people who really did something in hockey. They told me not to rush it and to think it through carefully. But I kept three or four months to think, and the decision matured more and more in me, “Novotný told the daily Sport, to which he announced his end.

In total, he won 151 matches for the national team and scored 24 goals.

“It was a long time in my head. I didn’t want to imitate a couple of athletes who announced their departure from the scene and then returned. That’s not my style. I definitely wanted to be sure.
