This is already posted on the Central Europe boardm but since everyone doesn´t read that, it might be a good idea to post it here as well as suggested by czechexpert. Firs a translation of an interview with Czech Red Wings scout Vladimir Havluj done by prohockey.cz And an interview with Robert Svehla, who´s currently the chief of youth hockey development in Slovak Dukla Trencin done by hokejportal.sk during the pre-season. (The translation isn´t the whole interview though): The translations might be a little crappy, because I just lack the ability to translate some of the hockey terms from Czech/Slovak to English, but I hope you enjoy anyway.
