  • A new sponsor has brought attention to the Czech Republic’s top ice hockey league and signals its ambitions.
  • The article argues that some league decisions are slowing the Extraliga’s progress and that bold changes are needed.

The Czech Extraliga is reaching for the skies with a sponsor whose very presence has attracted attention. Its arrival suggests that the country’s top hockey competition is moving forward.

The league’s ambitions were symbolized on Monday in Letňany, where leading Czech pilot Martin Šonka took off in an aircraft covered in Red Bull branding.

But the Extraliga is also holding itself back through some of its own decisions. To move higher, the competition will need bold changes.
