We are thrilled to share that our intensive efforts in the Czech Republic continue even after the World Championship. Following the successful event featuring our unique Shooting Zone with synthetic ice and the innovative Shooter smart goal system within the VIP area of Prague's O2 Arena during the IIHF World Hockey Championship, discussions on advancing hockey at the highest level are ongoing.
We are pleased to announce that this week marked the beginning of negotiations with the Czech Ice Hockey Federation – Czech Hockey. During these discussions, we explored the enhancement of youth team preparation process with top representatives from the federation.
This project holds significant potential, as our experience underscores the success of past collaborations with national federations. Notably, we managed the comprehensive training program for Slovakia's U-18 team in preparation for the Youth World Championship in Slovakia in 2017. This year-round training cycle included extensive team testing and player evaluations. Beyond the team's tournament success, it's worth highlighting that many stars of today's national team, including several NHL players, emerged from that cohort.
We continuously refine our player preparation methodology, training cycle planning, and technology development to maximize the skill development of hockey players. We believe that our potential collaboration in the Czech Republic will yield fruitful results and contribute significantly to the advancement of hockey in a country that passionately embraces the sport, especially following a successful World Championship.
Stay tuned for more updates as we work towards strengthening our presence and impact in the Czech hockey community.
