Me and my dad? Crazy, says Mallet, a Canadian comedian
While his colleagues from Brno have started taking training sessions on ice for the last week of July, Mallet was staying overseas. “What was my summer? Training, family, friends, training. And especially the family, “emphasizes the forvard. At the end of July, he was in the hospital when his girlfriend gave birth to Leo’s daughter. “Fortunately, everyone is healthy, and I’m glad it did before I left,” Mallet says. “Now I’m waiting for a visa and a children’s passport, and the family will come after me. I just do not know when it will be, “shrugs the native of East Quebec, who joined Martin Erat in preparation for extra-league champions last in the first half of August.
“Alex told us he honestly trained.Canadians are accustomed to this, that even though they are alone, they are preparing. His passage was much easier for him, “says one of Brno’s coaches Kamil Pokorny.
Mallet has managed the last preparatory fight against Jihlava, and has also hit all three Comets matches in the Champions League. In Stavanger, who is presenting himself at 13:30 in Brno, he scored a winning lead to 2: 1. Last weekend, Kalpa Kuopio scored a 2-2 win at home, thanks to which Kometa beat Finnish vicemies 3: 2 in extra time.
As if a Canadian striker in the duels against the Nordic people indicated why he values him in the Comet.Although after the arrival of Pardubice in January, it seemed that Mallet’s virtues would include the emphasis, the speed and the play of personal duels, over time he turned out to be an important man who participated in the key goals.
“I think he still can fight. But he is a type of player who wants to be a good team in every direction and that’s what interests us, “Pokorny says. A comet in a plethora of foreigners who can engage extralig clubs at a cheap price hit the jackpot. In the spring playoff he scored four times, he was one of the best scorers in the defeat battles in Brno. The players appreciate that they are trying to penetrate the secrets of Czech. “I do not want to talk about it.It’s a bad word, “Mallet smiles.
“It can be beer and such words,” says Center Lukáš Nahodil, who now forms an offensive line with Canadian and Hynek Zohorna. “We do not fight very much, because we can not even Zohy in English,” he laughs. “How many times when we come out of ice in lactate, English words are missing, but we are trying and Alex is understandable.”
But one of them is in Brno, despite the language barrier – to defend the extralig title! “I can not wait for the season to start,” Mallet looks. “There will be more pressure than last time, but we will try to defend the cup,” says new-born dad.
