@tomas Why I haven't been following the story much, but as far as I understand: hockey in Slovakia is in a lot of troubles.

Where Did You Go to College/University

yeah, i guess i have a different approach to college education. i think you should do your own work. even having someone else proof read a paper of yours is poor form, imo. this isn't a popular opinion, as was discussed at some point on the old board. but being evaluated for YOUR competency in the ...
