After Round 10, the name on everyone’s lips in RAHL3 is Michal Maličký of HC LEV Senec. Against Ľadoborci he had a 6-point game, his team won 8:0 and stretched its streak to three games without allowing a goal. Maličký also comfortably leads the scoring race for the entire competition with 26 points. In the interview he talks about what is behind the scoring explosion, how Senec’s game has changed, why goaltender Aďo Nogely deserves the biggest share of the credit for the run of zeros and how far they want to go as a team in terms of results.

The Player of the Month for October in RAHL2 is HK Petržalka goaltender Milan Vizner. He played three times in October and kept a shutout in two of them. He has lived through it all with the team since the start of the season, from the struggles in the opening rounds to a streak of seven straight wins and closing the gap on leader Uličníci. In the interview he talks openly about what was behind the turnaround in the locker room, why he takes the numbers mainly as the team’s result and how he sees the pressure on the top of the standings.

The Player of the Week in RAHL 2 is Matej Jurčák. His team, Alpha, managed to turn the game against Lions around and win 4:1.

In the interview we go back over the decisive stretches, what worked in the Alpha Hockey Team’s system and what, on the other hand, still needs fine-tuning before the next rounds. We also talk about the locker room’s mindset after the win and where the team wants to head in terms of results.
