HONOURING A LIFE IN HOCKEY01 / THE STORYFROM MARTIN TO THE WORLD
ON THE ICE. BEYOND THE RINK.
Some careers end with the final shift. This one kept going.
From Martin and Dukla Trenčín to Europe's top leagues and three Olympic tournaments. Oto Haščák helped shape Slovakia's national team in its earliest years and its climb back to the top division.
After his playing days, he traded the view from the ice for a seat in the stands. As an NHL scout, he searched for the potential others had yet to see. He later helped build the Slovak team that won Olympic bronze at Beijing 2022.
