Hockey in the Czech Republic has come a long way and has worked hard the last 10 years on growing the player base and building a Hockey Family culture. This is done involving all members into building an Equally Amazing environment where we build on the strengths of each member. 

Though we still have a long way to go we see we have an opportunity to build on a new generation of 12 to 18 years old players where there is more competition resulting in a bigger hunger for moving the bar. The Czech Hockey Federation would like to support the dreams of these players and therefore decided to join hands with the National Sport Agency who will support 7 collective women sports financially on their way to the Los Angeles Olympics. 

This support allowed us to review our current high performance strategy and shift up gears to become, over time, more competitive with the top European nations and to qualify for the Olympics. Besides honouring the Olympic values we would like our dream to be a dream of everybody in the Hockey Family for years to come. We would like it to become a dream of all youth players, all parents, all clubs and all fans as their support will be crucial. 

We also realize we need top staff around the teams, cooperation with our professional partners, the National Sport Agency and schools to become successful. We also like to learn from those countries who went before us.

To accomplish our dream we are looking for a diverse, performance driven group of quality team members who all have the same vision and passion to move the players to a next level. Besides a shared vision we need a group sharing the same values. 

For this reason we are announcing a number of new positions where we welcome passionate and skilled candidates who would love to join our journey.
