“HC Oceláři Třinec is adapting its plans to the valid crisis measures of the Czech government. They are preparing for the further continuation of the extra-league on a foreign ice rink,” Dita Ondrejková, a spokeswoman for Oceláři, told ČTK.
“We were in quarantine for two weeks, and if we were to be off the ice for another two or three weeks, it is devastating for us towards the rest of the season,” explains Václav Varaďa, coach of the Steelworks in Třinec.
Another blow to Czech sport? The collection limit of six should also apply to athletes

The extra-league clubs sent a letter to the Minister of Health, Roman Prymul, asking him for permission to train on the ice and, after October 25, for approval of the resumption of the competition.
After returning from quarantine, the people of Třinec did not enjoy it. After two days, they stayed in front of the locked hall

“Of course, we see this initiative, but we must act now. We don’t know a certain date when it will start playing again, but we still have to prepare in some way. We have to be as prepared as possible. It is not possible to go to matches without training, we would gamble with the health of the players, “says Varaďa.
According to the original schedule, Třinec still has fifty matches of the basic part to play. She’s slipping. “We have to fit ten matches somewhere if we want to keep the originally planned number of 52 matches in the basic part. I have to say, it’s really hard. I wonder if there will be any adjustment to the game system, the schedule of matches, “says Varaďa.
A novice from České Budějovice could theoretically train in Austria, for example it is 95 km to Linz. “We have not yet decided,” General Manager Stanislav Bednařík told ČTK.
Litvínov or Karlovy Vary could use ice rinks in Germany. He can train energy at the stadium in Selb, 70 km away, where the Czech national team has played in the past. Litvínov is similarly far to Dresden or Saxon Kamenice.
Monday’s tightening of government restrictions, which allow the assembly of a maximum of six people, means that the option to train in the Czech Republic on an open rink, as Sparta considered, has fallen. It also greatly complicates dry preparation.
Some measures have been extended until November 2, so it is probably not realistic that the extra league will start on October 30, as the clubs planned. “If the teams could not train, we would have to postpone the start until November 10,” the director of the extra league, Josef Řezníček, told Czech Radio.
From November 5 to 8, a national team break is planned, during which the national team should present itself at the Karjala tournament.
