What kind of role do you see yourself playing in the NHL?
Pavel – “I don’t care. I wanna do the best for my team but I would like to be scorer or playmaker.”
What have you been doing to keep yourself occupied? Any differences in training, workout, etc? How have you been lately? Family doing good as well?
Pavel – “ Oh yes!💪🏼, I have two hours workout every day. I don’t have any difference in my workouts, practices just working hard and having fun on practices / workouts.”
Can you reflect on your season with the Kelowna Rockets?
Pavel – “ From a team point of view, the season was average, we had a lot of trades and a change of coach, because we hosted the Memorial Cup in May. Personally, it was the first season in Canada and it was quite good.“
NOTE – One thing I love about this answer is the way he talks about the TEAM first, than HIMSELF… Great response.
How do you normally stay focused on game day? Do you have any rituals or routines?
Pavel – “In game day I like to eat eggs like breakfast, have a good morning skate, big healthy lunch, 30 minutes sleep and have fun on the warm up, I like the ice bath before game but it’s not routine.”
If the season is cancelled or postponed, do you have an alternative to play hockey, a Czech league or something along those lines?
Pavel – “ I don’t know yet. Will see what happens”
