Description
In the hot summer of 2015, a scandal erupts: hockey idol Vladimír Růžička secretly took half a million from the father of a young hockey player to provide him with advantages that others do not have. With disgrace, he resigns from his position as national coach, facing the threat of criminal prosecution. Reporter and writer Josef Klíma interviews dozens of people from the hockey world and gradually uncovers far more serious realities from the backstage of the most popular winter sport. It's not just about money, but literally about life. Young players who lost their life dreams through no fault of their own, and frustrated parents seeking revenge. But no one wants to testify; everyone is afraid. Or are they accomplices? This text, straddling the line between thriller and psychological probe, will be read in one breath even by readers who know nothing about hockey, as it describes universally applicable realities.
