KOMENTÁŘ: Utřete slzy, šampionát je velkým vítězstvím. Musí ale být i zrodem dívčích soutěží

Je dobré se na celé vystoupení reprezentantek podívat lehce historickou optikou. Vždyť je to osm let, co ve Švýcarsku do posledního utkání kvalifikace bojovaly o účast na olympiádě, a byť mise nedopadla úspěchem, stejně se nadšením psalo, jak Hry byly blízko. O čtyři roky později se jim už prodrat pod olympijské kruhy podařilo a z „exotiky“ se začal pro širší společnost stávat ženský hokej rovnoprávným sportem, zpopularizoval se, což se projevilo i v náborech, které mají stále vzestupnou tendenci.

A teď už Češky za deset měsíců zamíří na olympiádu jako etablované družstvo, které má reálnou naději na zisk medaile. Takovou pozici přitom nemá v tuzemsku žádný jiný kolektivní sport a i hokejisté-muži mají popravdě při účasti hvězd z NHL k placce dál. „Kanada a USA dominují, Finsko je extrémně silný třetí soupeř už desítky let. Pro nás je tohle čtvrtý turnaj v této pozici. Ale pořád máme velmi mladý tým a získáváme zkušenosti,“ míní trenérka.

Šampionát by ale neměl zůstat u toho, že byl nejlepším v historii, že pobláznil lidi a že vlastně jen kousek chybělo k medaili, která třeba zanedlouho přijde. Úspěch šampionátu musí ženskému hokeji v Česku přinést pevné základy. Jednou z jeho velkých potřeb jsou v tuzemsku organizované soutěže pro dívky od 12 do 18 let.

Je totiž sice fajn, že se hokejovému fortelu učí mezi kluky, dodává to jejich hře říz a zhruba do třinácti, čtrnácti jsou dívky častokrát pevnou a nikterak výjimečnou součástí týmů. Jenže s příchodem puberty kluci „raketově“ narostou, naberou fyzický fond a mladé slečny během pár měsíců ztrácejí. Takže do mladšího dorostu se udrží vskutku jen ty výjimečné, následně musí „emigrovat“ do zahraničí (86 procent z nich), což ale ne pro každou je v patnácti, šestnácti schůdná cesta.

Mrzí to, bolí to. Nikdo moc neví, co druhému říct, popisuje Kristýna Kaltounková dění v české kabiněVideo: Sport.cz

A pak nastane zbytečná hokejová úmrtnost.

Častokrát úprk k florbalu, který fungující systém dívčích soutěží má.

A pyramida, která je přirozenou součástí základny každého sportu, najednou přijde o celé patro.

To by ale oněch deset dní v Českých Budějovicích mohlo změnit. „Nejdůležitější věc ale možná uvidíme za osm deset let. Budou tu teď holky, které se přihlásí na hokej a pomůžou mu, aby se zvedl. Za to můžeme děkovat ženám, které byly na ledě dnes. Nikdo nechce prohrát poslední zápas na turnaji, ale jakmile budeme mít čas se ohlédnout, uvědomíme si, že český ženský hokej je velký vítěz tohoto turnaje,“ řekla trenérka MacLeodová.

A Petr Bříza, viceprezident svazu i IIHF, přidal: „Zhruba od třinácti let dívkám chybí regulérní soutěže. To je pro ně těžké období. Domácí mistrovství má pomoci také k tomu, aby kluby zapracovávaly ženské týmy do svých plánů.“

Zkrátka, aby se velké kluby nespokojily s tím, že budou mít klučičí týmy, z nichž pak holky odejdou, ale nabídnou jim vlastní pokračování a start v soutěžích. Efektem budou vyšší výnosy z příspěvků, větší marketingový potenciál, byť je jasné, že k tomu právě potřebujete mnohem širší základnu. Zároveň svaz musí pochopit, že ženský hokej už není tou „exotikou“, že ho nepodporujeme proto, že to doba žádá, ale kvůli tomu, že to má smysl, že nás může proslavit.

„Dřív jsme jely na mistrovství, které nikoho nezajímalo, a když jsme přivezly medaili, tak byli šťastní,“ říkala upřímně před turnajem generální manažerka reprezentace Tereza Sadilová.

MS v hokeji žen 2025

Zatímco na MS v hokeji mužů 2025 budou Češi obhajovat první místo, na již 24. ročníku mistrovství světa v hokeji žen český výběr útočil na návrat na medailové pozice. Šampionát hokejistek se konal v termínu od 9. do 20. dubna 2025 v Českých Budějovicích a Češky na něm obsadily čtvrté místo.

Teď mnozí hokejoví dinosauři na vlastní oči viděli, že ženský hokej je koukatelný, že má v sobě kus krásy a i zarytí puritáni mu (snad) přišli na chuť.

Tak nezůstaňme u zasloužené hrdosti nad diváckým rekordem, nad vysokou organizační úrovní šampionátu, ale posuňme ženský (dívčí) hokej zase o kus dál.

Steelers-Bengals Thursday Night Football Week 7 Preview: Odds, lines, best bets

Pittsburgh Steelers (-5.5) vs. Cincinnati Bengals [Total: 43] Game Overview Sitting atop the AFC North, the Steelers kick off the Week 7 slate with a promising opportunity to take a commanding division lead and establish themselves as a true contender in the conference. On the other sideline, the Bengals are looking to halt a four-game skid, as new signal-caller Joe Flacco gets more acquainted with the scheme and his teammates.  After failing to cover their first two games as roughly three-point favorites, the Steelers have flipped the script with three straight covers. That span includes a clutch win as road favorites in New England and an outright win as the underdog against the Vikings in Dublin. Pittsburgh’s inefficiencies on both sides of the ball to start the year have become a distant memory. Since Week 3, the Steelers have catapulted […]

No goal in a month – so how is Gyokeres helping Arsenal?

Viktor Gyokeres arrived at Arsenal as a goal machine, with 97 goals in 102 games at former club Sporting. He was branded as the natural goalscorer, the final piece of the puzzle that Arsenal were missing.So, no goal in a month - hitting six straight blanks - is a concern for the forward recently given the European Golden Shoe prize at the Ballon D'Or Awards. "He would get frustrated if he went three or four games without a goal," said Coventry's former assistant manager Adi Viveash to Sky Sports last season about working with the striker in the Championship."He didn't want to go that long. He would get a little bit edgy if he went a few games without one."A record of three goals in ten games in Arsenal colours isn't horrendous, especially with the team winning eight of those […]
