My diploma thesis is dedicated to the problem of creating a cult of personality around ice hockey coach Ivan Hlinka. It is focused on two key periods: The first is the victory of the Czech ice hockey team at the Olympic Winter Games in Nagano in February 1998 , the second is the period after Hlinka's tragic death in August 2004. The aim of the thesis is to analyze how much media influence the creation of a cult of personality by reporting about these two events. Objects of interest of my thesis are the process that puts a coach almost into the role of national hero . The second aspect of the work is the tabloidization of the topic such as a tragic accident and subsequent Hlinka's death. The thesis defines a cult of personality generaly and also from a historical perspective and adds the most famous reprsentative of cult of personality - Soviet dictator Josif Vissarionovich Stalin. In addition, it is dedicated to the cult of personality of athletes in general. This thesis not only presents Ivan Hlinka from a hockey standpoint, but mentions also his personality through a conversation with his longtime friend Josef Beránek sr. The final analysis is devoted to the representation of Ivan Hlinka in two specific print media during the two selected periods.

Aim of the thesis The main aim of this thesis is an analysis breakouts by extraliga junior team, selection the most effective variant and their subsequent comparison with the Canadian national team to 20 years. Constituent part is to create a complete overview of the theoretical knowledge which can be used in the analysis breakouts. The analysis can serve as an inspiration for coaches of youth cathegory during training and acquisition in this phase of the game. Methods In the thesis tracking method was used, which was used in the analysis breakouts. The analysis was performed by using the method of direct observation of the game, but also indirect observation of video recordings provided by videocoaches or assistant coaches of selected teams. Results During analyzing domestic literature, it was found that it is not paid enough attention to the breakouts and there is no methodology developed compared to a foreign literature. Of the reporting teams and their variants for the breakout and development of the attack, three of the most effective were selected. For comparison, there were also mentioned variants of the breakouts of the Canadian national team under 20 years, which was followed at the World Cup to 20 years. The best breakouts from DHL Extraliga junior teams has HC Plzeň 1929, HC Sparta Praha...

This paper uses data about 3,640 matches played in the seasons 2000/01-2009/10 to explain individual match attendance of the top Czech ice hockey competition -- the Extraliga. Some interesting results are that fans decide whether to attend based on the detailed information about the home team, but use just the easily observable information about the away team; that a match having no impact on the final season outcome is much less attended; that televising a match decreases attendances of all matches played on the same day, but there is no negative next-day effect; that both very good and very bad weather decreases attendance; and that if two home matches are played in a short time period, their attendance is lower with likely higher impact on the second match. Substitution of ice hockey with soccer is investigated on several different levels -- while ice hockey and soccer are definitely long-term substitutes, there are mixed results for same-day substitution. Modernization of ice hockey arenas is identified as the key factor behind the almost 20% attendance growth in the analyzed period. This paper also presents a new realistic method of modeling seasonal uncertainty based on Monte Carlo simulation that does not rely on ex post information.

För att nå en hög nivå av expertis inom sporten ishockey så krävs det att spelare har mycket goda och specifika motoriska, fysiologiska och psykologiska färdigheter. Tidigare forskning på unga elitsatsande fotbollsspelare har visat att de som nått en hög nivå, har en högre grad av självreglerat lärande. Syftet med studien var att undersöka självreglerat lärande, samt utforma och utvärdera en metod för att öka graden av självreglerat lärande, hos unga elitsatsande ishockeyspelare. Studien var av kvasi-experimentell design där ett lag fungerade som interventionsgrupp (Sub-elit, n = 15) och ett annat lag fungerande som kontrollgrupp (Elit, n = 18). Interventionen bestod av att spelarna i interventionsgruppen fick utvärdera sin egen prestation och utveckling en gång i veckan under fem veckor. Spelarna i båda grupperna fyllde i självskattningsskalan SRL-TT före och efter interventionen. Sex spelare intervjuades om deras upplevelser av självreglerat lärande och interventionen. Resultaten visar på att det fanns en skillnad vad gäller graden av självreglerat lärande mellan spelarna på högsta nivå (elit) och spelarna på en nivå under (sub-elit), men att interventionen inte hade någon statistiskt signifikant effekt på spelarnas förmåga att ägna sig åt självreglerat lärande. De intervjuade spelarna anser dock att interventionen har fått dem att tänka mer på sin utveckling och hur de presterat. Spelarna anser också att en dialog med tränarna leder till att de själva tänker mer på vad de behöver utveckla i sitt spel. / To achieve a high level of expertise in the sport of ice hockey, players need very good and specific motor, physiological and psychological skills. Previous research on young elite football players has shown that those who have reached a high skill level have a higher degree of self-regulated learning. The purpose of the study was to investigate self-regulated learning, and to design and evaluate a method for increasing the degree of self-regulated learning, in young elite ice hockey players. The study was of quasi-experimental design where one team was intervention group (Sub-elite, n = 15) and another team functioning as a control group (Elite, n = 18). The intervention consisted of the players in the intervention group evaluated their own performance and development once a week for five weeks. Players in both groups completed the self-assessment scale SRL TT before and after the intervention. Six players were interviewed about their experiences of self-regulated learning and the intervention. Results indicate that there was a difference in self-regulated learning between elite- and sub-elite players, and that the present intervention did not have a statistically significant effect on the players’ degree of self-regulated learning. The interviewed players, however, believe that the intervention has made them think more about their development and how they performed. The players also believe that dialogue with the coaches leads them to think more about what they need to develop in their game.

The purpose of this study is to find the relationship between financial health in an ice hockey club and its sport success. The study answers the research question: How can financial health of Swedish ice hockey clubs be able to explain the sport success in the Swedish Hockey League? Based on the research question, the study uses the theory Benchmarking and a more specific benchmarking terminology called Financial benchmarking. The study selects eight financial variables in order to benchmark the icehockey clubs in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). A particular methodology within financial benchmarking, called Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), is used in order to determine the financial health of the clubs in relation to each other and therefore be able to rank the clubs based on each individual variable. The same financial variables, with the addition of four non-financial variables and exclusion of two financial variables, are used in a selected Logistic Regression model to explain how the variables contribute to the sport success of the clubs. The main conclusions which can be drawn from the study are as follows: The variables Net sales and Net profit are the two only variables which are statistically significant and are able to contribute to sport success. Secondly, the club HV71 is overall the club with the most optimal financial health in SHL, among the 12 clubs investigated. Lastly, accounting trends within this industry affects the financial outcome and further how it explained sport success. Trends such as a minimal or no amount of long-term liabilities is common among the clubs, where instead the total amount of liabilities mainly consists of current liabilities. It can be further concluded that profitability, revenue and equity are financial corner stones in a hockey club which participates in SHL.
