I know some officials that went to work a season in the AIHL at one point and they told some fascinating stories that sounded an awful lot like this prompt with regards to how they were treated by the owner of (I believe) PSK Sakhalin after a playoff game. That being said, sport is a universal language and that’s something I learned in reality when I was playing in Japan and its true here too for Dominik. AK-47s and strange men in Adidas track suits don’t change the game that is being played on the ice. Dominik is someone that doesn’t have much of an issue blocking out what’s going on in terms of off the ice distractions, and he can certainly still go out there and play his game. Hockey is hockey. It would be a fun experience to play in a situation like that (looked like for a while I was going to have a chance to go play a few games in the DPRK) and I think Dominik would embrace that opportunity.
