Seems odd to me that someone who probably cares about Slovak hockey couldn't care less about Slovak national league, but of course, you are free to think and watch what you want.
When you're interested in top-quality hockey on the world stage, you just have no time left to pay attention to a provincial league. It's too tiny to be on the radar, and a day only has 24 hours.
"Slovak national league", by the way, is an appropriate term. Up until the breakup of Czechoslovakia, that was the official title for the
second-tier league. If your hockey team was really bad, it got relegated to the Slovak national league, from the top Czechoslovak league. And that's what the league is today, too: second-tier, and you might say Slovan got relegated to it from the KHL, because it was so mismanaged.
I suppose the league has already started, and Slovan played its first game in Košice on Thursday? See, I'm too uninterested to google the result of that game. The discussion of Mitch Marner's new contract with the Leafs (and I hate Leafs talk with a passion) seems more relevant than Slovak league results. I might pay some slight attention to the late play-off stages in March, but not now.
What's interesting is that a brand-new hockey club was founded in Bratislava recently (although by folks from Banská Bystrica, I hear), called the Bratislava Capitals. They're currently in Slovakia's second league (which would be the
third-tier league in Czechoslovakia), with the stated goal to move on to the top Slovak league next season, by winning the second league this season.
But would it really make sense for Bratislava to have two hockey clubs in the same (provincial) league? I don't think so. This is not the NHL with the Rangers, Islanders, and the Devils. So, I heard a conspiracy theory that the real goal of the Bratislava Capitals is to play in the KHL one day. If that's true, I'd definitely pay attention to that team.
Whichever team from Slovakia plays in a top international league like the KHL, has my attention. If a team from Poprad once again joined the KHL, it would have my attention, even though I'm from Bratislava.
