In January we will also welcome on #PFC some new teams from Latvia. We asked two coaches about what they expect from the tournament and why they decided to participate. Now we would like to share the interviews with you.
The first coach we asked is Remārs Vikānis from FS Masters who started to search for some tournaments in the Czech Republic after the last U19 World Floorball Championship where the Czech team took the gold medals. Especially, he is excited to compete against top Czech teams.
What do you look forward the most about the tournament?
After the last U19 World Championship where the Czech team took the gold, our club started
to look for some tournaments in the Czech Republic. Prague Floorball Cup is excellent
choice for us and we look forward to meeting with and competing against the best Czech
floorball clubs.
Why did you decide to participate in Prague Floorball Cup?
FS Masters club always looks for some well organized tournaments and we know that the
organization of PFC is on a very high level. Therefore, it was an obvious choice to take part in this tournament.
What are your expectations about the tournament?
We expect to meet the best Czech teams and we will work hard to compete against them.
What is your team’s goal for the PFC?
Off course we want to win every game that we will play, but it is also very important for us to
gain experience.
How did you find out about PFC?
Martin Forman contacted me and we talked about his vision about the tournament. It sounded really good and we decided to participate with 3 teams.
Do you plan to discover Prague during the tournament?
We would like to see some famous places in Prague, if the tournament schedule would allow
us to. We know that Prague is a beautiful city with lots of famous sightseeing places.
And the other interview we would like to share with you is with Ivars Laktins who is a coach of FBK Valmiera. He loves Prague and wants to introduce it to his players, but also, he is expecting a huge experience.
What do you look forward the most about the tournament?
Every year, I want my boys to gain experience in other countries and I know that floorball level in the Czech Republic is high. This tournament will be a very good experience for my teams.

Why did you decide to participate in Prague Floorball Cup?
I have been in Prague four times with my adult team on a tournament in summer. I like this city and how you organized the tournaments, so I decided with the parents to come to Prague this January.
What is your team’s goal for the PFC?
Though many good players of my team are not going to Prague, we want to play final game in your tournament of course. If my teams lose games we will take the good things from each game and keep training harder!
How did you find out about PFC?
Usually I look at IFF page for Club Tournaments. There I simply plan trips by date and to which country we want to go.
Do you plan to discover Prague during the tournament?
Sure, I love Prague city and people there, so I want to introduce your city to my kids. Definitely, we go will to “Karlův most” and the Old Town.
