„Je to poprvé, co se s radostí dívám na to, jak je moje práce rozbita,“ řekla s úsměvem Kateřina Handlová poté, co kouč Radim Rulík, generální manažer Jiří Šlégr a útočník Matěj Stránský kladivem rozbili její výtvor. „Spojení českého sklářství a hokeje podtrhuje tradici a dobré jméno obou oborů. Jsem ráda, že i já mohu svou prací přispět.“
Slon na chvilku přenesl zpět do období zlatého Nagana generálního manažera Jiřího Šlégra: „Mít talisman pro štěstí v podobě slona se českému hokeji už jednou bohatě vyplatilo. Pamatuju, jak jsme v Naganu hladili skleněného slona při každém odchodu z kabiny. Věřím, že štěstí přinese i nyní, navíc, když jeho střepy poslouží k výrobě amuletů,“ prohlásil.

Ruku k dílu přiložil i trenér reprezentace Radim Rulík.
Limitovaná edice talismanů bude reprezentantům předána před úterním odletem do Dánska. Talismany z pryskyřice ve tvaru puku budou vyrobeny za použití speciálních forem vytvořených technologií 3D tisku. V každém z puků bude zalitý jeden sloní střep, po finálním leštění tak vznikne stovka naprosto unikátních a originálních artefaktů.
MS v hokeji 2025
88. ročník mistrovství světa v hokeji je na programu v termínu od 9. do 25. května 2025. Hostit jej bude Švédsko a Dánsko, konkrétně Stockholm a Herning. Ještě předtím od 23. dubna do 4. května se koná MS do 18 let v USA.

LeBron James not expected to consider significant pay cut, per report, and that poses problems for the Lakers
Getty Images LeBron James has earned more money playing in the NBA than anyone else in league history. According to Spotrac, his career on-court earnings top $528 million, but at select points in his career, he has been willing to leave money on the table in order to help his team compete for championships.Most notably, James took less than the max to join the Miami Heat in 2010. That allowed them to not only sign Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, but also retain key reserve Udonis Haslem and use the mid-level exception to bring in Mike Miller. He began taking the max again when he returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014, in part to support other players around the league. James taking less gave owners leverage to ask other stars to do the same, so for the next 10 […]
QB Jalen Milroe is cheerful but diligent in first minicamp with Seahawks
<!--> For all the million-dollar smiles Jalen Milroe flashed following his first practice with the Seahawks, it's clear Seattle's third-round draft pick means business.Milroe's diligent approach stems from his being raised by military parents.

So, my team was here today at practice."ADVERTISEMENT -->So, too, was Milroe’s passing potential. He worked through the route tree and showed impressive touch on deep throws.Milroe, who completed 64% of […]
