When I began as young athlete in Czech Republic, my interest was not in hockey originally. My passion grew for the sports of fighting. Wrestling, mixed martial arts, anything where I could hit the opposition. When I moved to America, I became the Heavyweight Champion of the World Fighting League. However, when career there became stale, I looked for new path to take. The I wanted a new sport where I could be an elite athlete and still hit people, but be a part of a team. So much of my sporting career I was fighting just for myself, so I wanted to try working as a group. So I dedicated next year and a half to learning how to skate and use stick properly. I can check and fight and get in way of shot from other team well, but still much to learn. My love of the sport has grown since joining. Nothing satisfies urge to fight like standing on ice with knives strapped to feet, hitting another man into the boards.
