“Since we integrated hockey into the state system, we have been looking at when the work will be done and how far we will get to the end of the framework agreement. The objectives and plans of the Methodology Centre are well developed, and in some areas we are ahead of schedule. However, we can only put the knowledge we have gained from our scientific work into practice if we get our day-to-day work in order” – he said.

Lecturers included Jukka Konstas, video analyser and goalkeeping coach of the Hungarian National Ice Hockey Team, Tyler Dietrich, Technical Director of Hockey Canada, Vesa Viitakoski, the Mentor Coach of FEHA19 playing in the Erste Hockey League and Anatolij Bogdanov, the Head Coach of the team as well as Gergely Majoross, Head Coach of HC Mikron Nové Zámky playing in the Slovak Extraleague.
