A look back at an unforgettable week in Boston – Pre-draft Showcase ‘25
Exactly one year after attending the Showcase in New Jersey, I had the incredible opportunity to return — this time to Boston — for the 2025 Pre-draft Showcase.
📍 Boston, USA
🗓️ 11 days packed with hockey, training, and new challenges
Once again, I had the chance to be part of a young and hopeful team — this time facing an even more demanding program than last year. As the S&C coach, I was right in the middle of it all.
Despite the tough workouts, intense games, and very little downtime, the trip was simply an amazing ride, full of great memories, valuable experience, and professional growth.
🏒 We visited top-tier high schools and college facilities
🔥 Our boys didn’t back down from any challenge
🏆 And the result? Unforgettable journey — and a complete tournament victory!!
We became the first European team to win in our category at one of the biggest showcase events in the U.S.
I’m proud of our guys — their attitude, performance, and team spirit were exceptional.
Huge thanks to and its founder Milan Vodicka for the trust and the opportunity to be part of this journey once again.
Big appreciation also goes to , who once again did an excellent job with the boys, and to my colleagues from the staff — .hejtmanek and .jiri — for taking great care of the entire team.
And of course, once again, a massive thank to all the players for their fantastic performances.
It was truly an honor to stand by your side — what a ride it was!
