Kristaps Sotnieks: Thanks for having me. It’s great to be here and talk about Latvian hockey’s presence in the Czech league.
Moderator: Absolutely! This season is shaping up to be a historic one for Latvian players in the Extraliga. We’re seeing guys like jaks, Mamcics, and Tralmaks putting up impressive numbers and leading their teams to victory. What do you attribute this success to?

We’re seeing a new generation of skilled and dedicated players coming through the ranks. The Extraliga provides a fantastic platform for these players to develop their skills and gain invaluable experience against top-tier competition.
