In this episode of Slovakia Today, we take you to the heart of Trenčín—a city with a mighty hockey legacy and a school that's been nurturing future stars for generations. As Slovakia marks 60 years of student and sports education at one of its most storied institutions, we explore how this small city has produced some of the country's biggest hockey names. But with Slovakia finishing 12th at the 2025 IIHF World Championship and fewer players reaching the NHL, the question arises: what's changed, and where is Slovak hockey headed? We speak with local legends like Stanley Cup champion Marián Gáborík, a headmaster who believes in the power of sports-integrated education, and a veteran coach guiding today's youth through new challenges. Along the way, we hear from young players navigating the demands of school, training, and rising costs. This report digs into what it takes to build elite talent in modern Slovakia—and whether the next generation has what it takes to bring the country back to the top of the hockey world.

(Happy Father's Day!)Deň otcov na Slovensku (skrátené = abbreviated)Všimli ste si, že niektoré sviatky prídu s veľkou pompou a iné sa len tak ticho vplížia do kalendára? Taký je Deň otcov na Slovensku – sviatok, ktorý síce nevybuchol ako ohňostroj, ale pomaly si našiel miesto v našich srdciach.Počas socializmu sa Deň otcov veľmi neslávil. Populárny bol Deň žien a Deň detí, ale otcovia si museli počkať. Veď načo by potrebovali sviatok, však? Ako by povedal starý otec: „Otec? Veď to je ten, čo zarába a opravuje veci. “Po roku 1989 sa však pomaly začali objavovať „západné sviatky“– Halloween, Valentín, Deň matiek, ... a Deň otcov. Dnes ho oficiálne slávime na tretiu júnovú nedeľu – ako v USA..................... (continues)Deň otcov sa na Slovensku zatiaľ neoslavuje s takou pompou ako Deň matiek, ale rastie. Deti kreslia obrázky, školy občas urobia projekt, obchody ponúkajú „darčeky pre otecka“– no a niektorí otcovia dostanú pusu, pivo, ponožky… alebo pokoj na pozeranie Tour de France.A možno to tak stačí. Veď slovenskí otcovia sú skromní. Nepotrebujú fanfáry. Len vedieť, že si ich vážime.Timestamps00:33 Introduction02:26 About Fathers' Day06:21 Fun fact12:04 Slovak lesson23:07 Essay in Slovak i Slovak25:51 English Translation28:35 Final thoughtsIf you have any questions, send it to my email hello@bozenasslovak.com.

Currently, 1,648 people in Slovakia are living with HIV. In 2024 alone, 63 new cases have been diagnosed. While proper treatment can ensure the virus poses no risk to others, including partners, societal stigma remains strong. Many people, including medical professionals, still lack sufficient knowledge about what it truly means to be HIV positive. Find out more in the interview with HIV/AIDS Slovensko director Ján Koller and deputy director Miroslav Krajčoviech. Another epiode of Slovak Sound Check is waiting for you, too.

Mon Dieu. Lieber Gott. Dear God. I heard French, German, Slovak, Greek, and English prayers echo through the central Athens church as in unison we prayed in our native languages for people in our home countries to hear of God’s love. The beauty of the gathering was magnified when we realized our gathering was happening on Pentecost. In the Old Testament, Pentecost was a harvest festival celebrated fifty days after the Passover festival (Leviticus 23:15-21). On the first Pentecost following Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers gathered in Jerusalem. Suddenly a sound like “violent wind” came, and “what seemed to be tongues of fire” appeared as they were filled with the Spirit and “began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” (Acts 2:4). Visitors from other nations heard “the wonders of God” in their own language (v. 11). Then, after Peter “addressed the crowd,” many believed the message that Jesus was crucified and raised to life to offer forgiveness (vv. 14, 22-41). The multilingual prayers of the ministry leaders assembled in Athens reminded me that Peter’s message heard at Pentecost continues to be shared around the world, and people are still responding in faith. Let’s pray for the Spirit to empower us like the early believers in Jesus at Pentecost to tell of God’s love. And let’s pray for the message to be heard in every language spoken around the world.

The Bratislava Declaration was adopted last week in the Slovak capital, calling on the European Union to draft a European Act on Artistic Freedom—a legal framework designed to protect freedom of expression, creative independence, and the autonomy of cultural institutions across member states.

Edition No141 | 10-05-2025 - World leaders attending the military parade in Moscow to mark the end of the second world war bring shame on themselves and their countries. This is what Donald Tusk of Poland said, and I completely concur. Shaking hands with, embracing, and even normalising a blood-thirsty tyrant and killer, and one that is actively engaged in a war with genocidal characteristics against its neighbour and former colonial subject is revolting, despicable, morally bankrupt. Tusk says this after Slovak prime minister Robert Fico became the only European Union leader to attend. Orban was perhaps too concerning about the fragile political situation in Hungary, in case once he left the country he couldn't return. And the home for involuntarily retired dictators and Kremlin puppets in Moscow is becoming a little overcrowded at present. “I try not to comment on the decisions and behaviour of leaders of states, especially from our community,” Tusk told a news conference. “But there is no doubt that being at the victory parade in Moscow and applauding President Putin … brings shame to everyone who is there.”----------Links: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly3807exynohttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/09/russia-victory-day-putin-ukraine/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/05/09/russia-ukraine-zelensky-putin-war-latest-news529/https://www.nbcnews.com/world/europe/russia-parade-world-war-ii-putin-china-xi-trade-deal-tariffs-rcna205534https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/zelenskyy-calls-upcoming-victory-day-parade-in-moscow-parade-of-cynicism-/3560667https://kyivindependent.com/death-regiment-counters-russias-victory-day-celebrations-in-many-protests/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/vladimir-putin-nazi-germany-kremlin-ukraine-russia-b2746910.html----------Your support is massively appreciated!
