Expansion in North America

HDTS continues partnership with HDC San Diego

We are pleased to announce that we are continuing to expand our services in the North American market. This is truly an important milestone in the global growth of our company. In addition to enhancing our demonstration environment, we are also strengthening our team of people and specialists who are directly based in the USA and Canada. This allows us to respond directly to potential meetings with prospective clients interested in our solutions.

We are excited to continue our previous collaboration with HDC San Diego, where our specialists will be available. Our North American office is located in a modern center in San Diego, California.

HDC San Diego is a unique facility, the first of its kind in the United States, and the only hockey center of this level on the West Coast. It is fully equipped with the latest technology for individual player development and offers unmatched experiences for both amateur and professional athletes.

As mentioned, to support our expansion, we are building a strong team of experts who will be based in the USA and Canada. This allows us to be closer to our clients and business processes in North America. Having our specialists on-site will enable us to operate more effectively in the expanding hockey market.

Leading the development of our business in North America is Jozef Budaj, who comes from a prestigious hockey family. His brother is a former NHL goalie and the first Slovak coach in the NHL. Jozef not only has extensive experience as a professional hockey player but also coaching and managerial experience from various European hockey clubs, making him the ideal person to lead our activities in North America.

Another key member of our team is Richard Pinka, who will serve as a fitness and hockey consultant. Richard is an experienced hockey fitness coach with vast experience in professional club hockey as well as national team coaching. He has worked with Slovak Extraliga teams and achieved several notable results, such as winning the Slovak Extraliga championship. He continues to work professionally with the Slovak U20 national team, which he will accompany at the upcoming World Championships in December in Ottawa, Canada. Richard is also familiar with our training methodology, which he has implemented in several HDCs (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Canada, etc.).

In the near future, we will involve additional specialists from the USA and Canada, who will also take on lecturing and training roles.

This strategic step brings us closer to our clients in North America. We believe we will succeed in implementing our advanced training technologies and methodologies, especially in the area of individual hockey preparation. This also fulfills our vision, supported by more than 30 international experts who helped us build this concept and solution.
