Goonie talks about Tomek and I think his quote is important. His goal is still to be the No. 1 tendy at UND and he spent the whole quote talking about the team. To me, this says a lot about the kid.
“I didn’t get to play last year because of a pre-season groin injury that needed surgery, and recovery time from it,” Matej said. “But I was really happy to be on the team we had last year. It was an amazing group of guys that was able to accomplish a big thing after sixteen years of our program not winning a National Championship, so everyone was really excited when we won. Everyone on the team was really happy about it, so it was a great first college hockey experience to be a part of the National Championship team even though I didn’t play.”
“Expectation for me personally is the same as when I first came here. I want to be the number one goalie and play as much as I can. This is also my last year to try and play in the World Juniors for Slovakia so I think the World Juniors and becoming the number one goalie at UND is the prime goals.” (World Junior 2017)
