PLAYER PROMPT:

When Miroslav Ketil was a child, his mother was a hockey coach for the local school as she was a pretty good player for Czechia before she became pregnant with Miroslav. He was exposed to hockey at a young age, first picking up a stick and lacing up the skates when he was just four years old. He would attend away games with her and the team, and was taught a lot by the much older teens on the team. This really helped him garner interest in the sport, because all the older kids more or less adopted him amongst their ranks. He learned to skate with some of the best coaches in Czechia from that young age, while watching the team his mother coached try to reach the pinnacle of Czechia minor hockey.

As he grew older, he realized that he really wanted to play an offensive game from the blueline because he felt like he had really good vision for passes, and had a deceptively good shot for when the opposing defense's were cheating to cutting off his passing lanes. He still talks to those players, and they're all very proud that he has finally reached the peak of being drafted into an SHL team.
