Czechoslovakia was not a large country at the time of its existence between 1918 and 1992 \u2014 with a break between 1938 and 1945 during the Second World War (at that time, the Czech Republic was a protectorate under German rule, while Slovakia was an independent state allied with Hitler) \u2014 but it did have a significant economic and political influence on world affairs. This was doubly true of Czechoslovak hockey. Regardless of the historical period, Czechoslovakia\u2019s national hockey team was always one of the best in the world. It is true that, until the 1970s, Czechoslovak hockey was amateur hockey, but it must be objectively admitted that this was so-called \u201chidden amateurism\u201d, since the players were de facto professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The task of this article is to take readers on a short excursion through the development of hockey in Czechoslovakia, because with few exceptions, they have likely not had an opportunity to appreciate its impact on the development of world hockey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that the first rules of the game were brought from Canadian hockey to the Czech Republic and translated into Czech as early as 1903, bandy enjoyed much greater popularity among Czechoslovak spectators until 1930. In that year, however, there was a major turnaround, and Canadian ice hockey became one of the most popular sports in Czechoslovakia, while bandy gradually faded into history. For the duration of the Czechoslovak Republic, ice hockey was clearly the most popular and successful winter sport, winning the World Championship six times, along with 12 silver and 16 bronze medals. Czechoslovaks also achieved significant success at the Olympic Games, although they never became Olympic champions during this period. However, they won a silver medal at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics in 1984. I must not forget to mention the national team\u2019s very successful performance against the world\u2019s best professionals at the 1976 Canada Cup, where they reached the final, in which they lost to Canada. Everyone in Czechoslovakia will forever remember the 1\u20130 victory over Canada in the round-robin portion of the tournament, especially the heroic performance of goalie Vladimir Dzurilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czechoslovak hockey players also achieved great results in the years following this event. In Czechoslovakia, many books have been written about this glorious history, most of them dealing with the events of this period only in terms of the results achieved. However, none of the publications have dealt in depth with the causes, reasons and context of these outcomes. Moreover, I am also not aware that any of the many books I mention have been translated into English and subsequently published in Canada or in the usa, and that is why I have decided to reveal these generally unknown secrets from the country where I was born, but will not end my life\u2019s pilgrimage in, because the Czech o slo vak Republic ceased to exist as of 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, in collaboration with J\u00e1n Holko, I wrote and published a detailed 400-page book titled Debate About Slovak Hockey and Its Perspectives<\/em>, in which I discussed the influence of sports training methodology on the performance level of Czechoslovak hockey players in a historical context. Unfortunately, it is available only in the Slovak language; however, in this day and age of AI and various internet translators, this is not a problem for those who might wish to read it, even if they do not speak Slovak. Although the title of the book leads its readers to think that the text is exclusively about Slovak hockey, this is not the case; its main aim was to present the influence of methodology on the constantly increasing qualitative level of world and European hockey in the context of hockey development in Slovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I will give a brief description of hockey methodology in Czechoslovakia up to 1992 and its influence on the development of world hockey. In the context of this article, it is pointless to go into details (these are in the book mentioned above), so I will only recall the names of the most important coaching personalities of that time and their specific contribution to the creation of the theory and practice of hockey methodology. At the same time, I believe it is important to stress how the particular methodological practice they authored was responsible for changing the way the game was played in Czechoslovakia and also in the world. The selected personalities of Czechoslovak hockey are chronologically arranged from the period of its foundation to the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on December 31, 1992.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Buckna<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Buckna was born on March 24, 1908, to Slovak parents in Trail, British Columbia, where he developed as a hockey player. He came to Czechoslovakia at the age of 22 in November 1935, and immediately became a player for LTC Praha \u2014 at the time, the best club in the country and one of the best in Europe. His performance stood out far above the rest of his team mates, which is why he immediately became a coach, although according to his son, Mike Buckna Jr., he never received any coaching education in Canada. In Prague, his first name was changed to Matej, the name by which he was known throughout Czechoslovak hockey. With the aforementioned club, he attained his greatest sporting success as a player-coach, and also became the coach of Czechoslovakia\u2019s national team, although he was unable to play for the country of his parents\u2019 birth because he was a citizen of Canada. Buckna had two stints in Czechoslovak hockey, before and after World War ii, but ended his tenure after the Communists came to power. He is considered to be the \u201cfounding father\u201d of Czechoslovak ice hockey, which he set on a rising trajectory. He died on January 6, 1996, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vladim\u00edr Kostka<\/strong>
Vladim\u00edr Kostka, a professor at Charles University in Prague, a successful teacher as well as coach of the Czechoslovak national team, and one of the most respected physical education scientists in the world, was born on August 20, 1922, in T\u0159eb\u00ed\u010d and died on September 17, 2009, in Prague. He was the founder of the modern Czechoslovak hockey program and was instrumental in developing the educational system for hockey coaches in Czechoslovakia. He was also the author of the Czechoslovak system, with the so-called \u201cdefending left wing forward\u201d, by which the team was able to defeat the Soviet national team at the World Championship and the best professional hockey players from Canada at the inaugural Canada Cup in 1976. For many years, Professor Kostka was president of the Czechoslovak Hockey Federation as well as the chairman of the IIHF
Methodology Commission. He is also the author of 33 professional publications, 48 scientific papers and more than 200 articles. In 1997, he was inducted into the IIHF Hockey
Hall of Fame, and in 2008 he was inducted into the Czech Hockey Hall of Fame, which was established that year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ladislav Horsk\u00fd spent his professional career teaching at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at J. A. Comenius University in Bratislava. He was born on September 18, 1927, in Valaska, near Brezno, and died on September 24, 1983, in Brno. He was the first Slovak to succeed amongst the highly competitive cohort of Czech hockey coaches, and he also succeeded on the international scene. In addition to being a successful physical education teacher and hockey scientist, he was also an active coach at the club and national team level. In 1978\u201379, he led the Slovak hockey club Slovan Bratislava to the first league title by a Slovak club in the history of Czechoslovakia, a monumental achievement at that time. He enriched the methodology of Czechoslovak and world hockey with analytical training of offensive and defensive play in the individual ice surface zones. He wrote and published 14 books in Czechoslovakia, 12 of which were also published in six other countries, as well as more than 40 professional studies and articles. He has been a member of the IIHF Hockey Hall of Fame since 2004, a member of the Slovak Hockey Hall of Fame since 2002, and in 2010 he was inducted into the Czech Ice Hockey Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Karel Gut<\/strong>
Karel Gut was born in the village of Uh\u0159\u00edn\u011bves, now part of Prague, on September 16, 1927, and died on January 6, 2014, also in Prague. He gained his professional credibility in ice hockey through his experience as a player as well as by collaborating with the best Czech o slovak experts in the science of ice hockey, including Professor Kostka and associate professor J\u00e1n Star\u0161\u00ed. As a player, he made a name for himself as an offensive defence man, scoring 35 goals for Czechoslovakia, a record that has never been surpassed. As the coach of Czechoslovakia\u2019s national team, partnered with Star\u0161\u00ed, he won two World Championship titles and fought his way to the final of the inaugural Canada Cup in 1976. He made his mark in the history of the development of hockey methodology by developing a new model of summer training for hockey players based on a substantial increase in the hours of training load and an increase in its intensity. Another significant contribution was the application of psychological methods of communication with the players of the Czechoslovak National Team in the spirit of the motto \u201cThe coach must be demanding, consistent and precise, but the player must feel that he is the coach\u2019s partner and have rights, and not his subordinate.\u201d He is a member of the iihf, Czechoslovak and Czech Hockey Halls of Fame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Star\u0161\u00ed combined the playing experience of an outstanding Czechoslovak national hockey player with the professional and scientific erudition of a university lecturer and coach. However, he achieved greater success as the club coach of Slovan Bratislava; SC Riessersee and SB Rosenheim in Germany; and as the coach of the Czechoslovakian National Team. It was his work with the national team, in tandem with Karl Gut, that brought him the highest recognition. He was successful in applying the method of interval training, which he adopted from Soviet coach Anatoli Tarasov, and significantly developed this training method for Czechoslovak hockey using scientific research. He is a member of the IIHF Hockey Hall of Fame, the Czechoslovak and Czech Hockey Halls of Fame in Prague, and the Slovak Hockey Hall of Fame in Bratislava.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lud\u011bk Buka\u010d was born on August 4, 1935, in \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem, but lived most of his life in Prague. His childhood hockey years resembled the stories of successful Canadian players like Gordie Howe, as Lud\u011bk also started playing on natural ice \u2014 in his case, on the frozen Vltava River. He was an out standing hockey player in the league and on the Czechoslovak National Team, and was later able to capitalize on his extensive playing experience as a coach, not only in Czechoslovakia but abroad. As a coach, he was one of the most prominent professionals at the time, recognized not only in Czechoslovakia but also later in the independent Czech Republic and abroad. For many years as a university professor, he cooperated with Professor Vladim\u00edr Kostka at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Charles University in Prague. He was incredibly hardworking, which was reflected in the quantity and quality of his publications, and found an audience not only in his home country, but several of his publications were also published abroad. He was active in publishing through his life, and his last book was the auto biographical My Hockey Century<\/em>, published a year before his death. He died at the age of 83 on April 20, 2019, in Prague. He is a member of the IIHF, Czechoslovak and Czech Hockey Halls of Fame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion, each of the six hockey personalities profiled has made significant contributions to the success of Czechoslovak hockey as well as Czech and Slovak hockey after the collapse of Czechoslovakia on December 31, 1992. The successes have been built on the implementation of knowledge brought forward by these six men. Of course, the list of personalities who enriched the methodology of Czechoslovak hockey is much longer. I refer those who may be interested to the book mentioned, where the details are exhaustively described. More information about the book, or how to purchase it, can be found on the website www.hokej-polemika.sk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question arises as to whether the findings, conclusions and recommendations for the development of Czechoslovak hockey that were reached by the six mentioned personalities were their original findings or concluded by observing world hockey, gaining experience through international cooperation. Of course, in the beginning, it was about taking experience from Canadian hockey, and this transfer of information from Canada was done both from the practical (Matej Buckna) and theoretical (Lloyd Percival) side. The key role in the scientific study of the game of hockey after 1959 \u2014 that is, after the end of the World Championship in Prague and Bratislava \u2014 was played by two institutions of higher education, namely the Faculties of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University in Prague and J. A. Comenius University in Bratislava. However, it must be correctly acknowledged that it was Lloyd Percival\u2019s 1950 publication The Hockey Handbook<\/em> that fundamentally influenced the methodology of observational research of hockey in Czechoslovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, the rivalry with Soviet hockey also played a significant role in this process, which deepened after the occupation of Czechoslovakia by ussr troops in 1968, an event that stifled the revival process in our country. It should not be forgotten, however, that, thanks to the scientific inventiveness of the six people mentioned above, the expert analyses and research results they produced were among the most advanced in the hockey world at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, at the time, it was a surprise to the Canadian hockey community that, in the second half of the 1970s, players from a small country like Czechoslovakia without a long hockey tradition could suddenly emerge and compete with the best Canadian nhl players, even beating them on their home turf during the inaugural Canada Cup in 1976. However, it was not so surprising for the hockey experts from Czechoslovakia, because they considered it to be a legitimate consequence of their great work in the field of hockey methodology. For the sake of historical hockey memory, this article is mainly dedicated to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

J\u00e1n Golian<\/strong> is a PhD and CSc., a former university teacher, and, at 74 years of age, is devoted to the history of the development of the methodology of the training process in ice hockey. He also deals with the education of ice hockey coaches in Slovakia and the latest scientific knowledge in the field of education.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
