Performance doesn’t happen by chance. It’s shaped by details, environment, and leadership. Hockey Talent Academy camps are not “just another summer camp”. They are professional development blocks, built on specific player analysis, tracking performance hockey trends, and individual attention to detail. The very detail that separates average from dominance in a season.
At HTA camps, we train players who want to take control – of their development, of their career. Players who don’t look for shortcuts but for a system. Who don’t make excuses but take responsibility. These are the players who move forward. Every year. And every year, the gap between those who attend – and those who don’t – gets wider.
Every HTA camp is structured so that a player leaves with real progress – not just the feeling of having “trained”. In one weekend, they complete 6 ice sessions, 2 dryland training sessions (speed, stability, mobility), and play 2 games – one on a small rink to develop pressure-game skills, and one full-size game. That’s 10 targeted development entries. That’s what adds up during the season.
Elite performance begins with elite habits – including nutrition. Every HTA camp provides full meals including soup, a high-quality main course, dessert, and proper hydration. No compromises. No fast food. Energy and recovery aren’t random – they’re choices.
Each camp includes the Speed Hockey League Draft Game – an elite match between selected players chosen via draft. Fast pace, natural rivalry, and pressure that simulates real-world competition in junior elite leagues across Sweden and Canada. This isn’t just a game – it’s a test for the top.
Every training session at HTA is part of a planned development system. We don’t teach “drills”. We build habits that shape difference-makers.
Those who work with a plan. Who understand what and why they train. Who know the structure of player development. They’re ahead. It may sound obvious – until you realize 90% of players don’t have this in their preparation. But you do.
Every player who chooses HTA takes their path seriously. And we appreciate every single one of you who trusts us – parents, players, coaches. Your time, trust, and commitment give our work meaning. Thanks to you, we’re raising the level of hockey every single day. Thank you for being part of the journey.
We are launching the T4HL project (Top 4 Hockey League) in categories U14, U13, U12, U11, which will be played off-season and feature the best players in each age group. In the inaugural year, 4 professionally managed teams will participate, and we've created beautiful identities for them, inspired by the best hockey leagues in the world. Players can get drafted into teams through the T4HL DRAFT, which will take place during the April WTT tournament. This youth elite league will also have its own scouting system to identify the best talents. To be eligible for the draft, players must register, and the registration is completely FREE.
We are proud to officially announce the release of the T4HL 2026 dates. Following a successful previous season that confirmed the enormous potential of the project, the TOP 4 HOCKEY LEAGUE enters the new year with a clear vision – to provide elite players in the U11–U14 categories with maximum professional conditions, top-level competition and organization at the highest standard. The newly published dates allow players, parents and clubs to plan their preparation in advance and become part of a project that is taking youth hockey to a new level. We look forward to the next chapter of T4HL and to everyone who will be part of it.
Become part of the first edition of the TOP 4 HOCKEY LEAGUE (U11–U14) and experience hockey at an elite level. Draft, professional coaches, live broadcasts – all of this is waiting for you. Click REGISTER and secure your place in T4HL 2026!
Thank you for being with us and supporting T4HL. We truly appreciate your interest and active engagement in following this great sporting event. Your support is extremely important to us and motivates us to provide you with the best and most up-to-date information. We look forward to many more shared experiences and hope the tournament entertains and inspires you.
Most hockey experts agree that the best hockey players in the history of this team game were unusual because they were able to be two steps ahead of the others in the game. They had a brilliant hockey sense, which markedly separated them from the others. If you search for the most successful players in history, you will find that this element was indispensable for all of them.

If you ask hockey lovers what is the most fun about the game, most will answer that it is the goals.
Již tradičně se v průběhu léta v Telči připravovali pod vedením trenérů projektu Hockey Talent Academy extraligoví hokejisté, talentovaní mladíci či hráči nejvyšších zahraničních soutěží a reprezentanti. Dlouhodobá spolupráce pokračuje s projektem vedeným Jaromírem Pytlíkem již mnoho let a nejinak tomu bude i léto příští. Profesionálové, kteří si pro svou individuální přípravu vybrali právě program v Telči, pracovali jak s kondičním trenérem na suché přípravě, tak samozřejmě s dovednostními trenéry na ledě.
Každodenní práci po delší dobu využili reprezentanti Hynek Zohorna a Libor Šulák, extraligoví hráči Adam a Ondřej Najmanovi, Pavel Kousal, Pawel Zygmunt nebo Tomáš Chlubna a Jaromír Pytlík ml., dále také talentovaný Ondřej Kos, Adam Titlbach či Matěj Kubiesa, který zazářil na letním Hlinka-Gretzky cupu v Břeclavi, kde si udržel průměr jednoho bodu na zápas.
Spokojenost s programem vyjádřili všichni účastníci a rádi by pokračovali také pro sezóny následující. „Z programu jsem nadšený, rád vždy sezónu začínám na ledě, než se zapojíme do klubové přípravy. Můžeme se zde zaměřit i na jiné věci, na které v sezóně nemáme prostor a čas, takže pro mě je Telč super zpestření a posun v dovednostech", uvedla na adresu programu JP PRO nová akvizice pražské Sparty Ondřej Najman. Pozitivní ohlas měl také jeho mladší bratr, liberecký Adam: „Pracuje se tu hodně na detailech, o kterých jsem třeba ještě ani neslyšel. Teď si na spoustu věcí budu muset dávat pozor v sezóně, zaměřit se na to a věřím, že mě to posune." Právě Adam Najman přivedl do Telče do JP PRO také svého kamaráda, kterým je útočník českobudějovického Motoru Tomáš Chlubna. I jednadvacetiletý forvard si nemohl spolupráci v Telči vynachválit: „Poté, co jsem zjistil, že sem půjde Adam Najman, tak jsem se spojil s trenéry a domluvil si program i pro sebe. Jsme velice spokojený, až mě ta úroveň vlastně trochu překvapila. Je tu spousta skvělých hráčů, od kterých toho můžeme my mladší hodně okoukat. Tréninky mají velkou kvalitu, takže si nemám na co stěžovat." Kromě extraligových jmen se programu účastnil také již zmíněný Libor Šulák, účastník Olympijských her a třech světových šampionátů, který v Telči strávil dlouhé týdny. „Já jsem hrozně spokojený jak v posilovně, tak na ledě. Program mi vyhovuje a myslím si, že mě zvedl výkonnostně i dovednostně o level jinam. Jsem přesvědčený, že byl před několika lety dobrý krok sem začít jezdit trénovat", uvedl Šulák na adresu tréninků Jaromíra Pytlíka.
Všichni hráči pro náš web potvrdili, že by se chtěli do Telče vrátit i pro přípravu na příští sezónu 2024/25, takže kromě hlavních dovednostních campů HTA bude léto opět spojováno s programem JP PRO a profesionály na ledě v HTC Telč.
