Two goalkeepers, eight defenders and twelve forwards. At the beginning of May, there are already so many names in the forming squad of Zlín, which, after relegation from the extra league, awaits its third season in the second highest competition.
The continuation of the number one goalkeeper is crucial
Daniel Huf
goalkeeper, 25 years old

And watch out! “There will be more reinforcements, we will soon welcome another experienced goalkeeper to our ranks ,” the Rams announce on their website. In the corridors, there are rumors about interest in Extřebíč’s Pavel Jekel.
After the signatures of Patrik Urbanec and Vítek Benda, the defense will also welcome one more name. “This week we will introduce a productive back who will strengthen our offensive with a good shot and pass,” suggests general manager Jan Pravda. According to sources at Hokej.cz, he is a power forward

Aleksi Lauri Salonen
defender, 31 years old

A question mark also hangs over by the continuation of forwards Nicolas Werbik and especially the experienced center Petr Holík.
“The attack is not complete yet, just like last season, we want to have five attacking trios,” Pravda plans. “At the same time, we focused on selecting suitable players for power plays. They were not to our liking and we need to work on them,” he realizes.
Salonen scored two goals, also hitting from the middle zone
The veteran is saying goodbye with confidence
Martin Novák
attacker, 35 years old

“We are trying to properly balance youth and experience,” Pravda is quoted by the beranizlin.cz website. “At the same time, we have created a team that is 70% made up of Zlín children. The Chance League is a very demanding and balanced competition, and therefore our first task is to perform evenly in the regular season. I believe that the strength of our team will show itself in the playoffs.”
