Hockey Goalie Training

Hailing from Hradec Králové, Rudi began his hockey journey inspired by the Czech Republic’s victory at the 1998 Nagano Olympics. He went on to play key years with HC Dynamo Pardubice, sharing the ice with legends like Dominik Hašek and David Krejčí, and captured a Czech championship title in 2012.

In 2013, Rudi joined Mountfield HK, where he continued to compete while also representing the University of Hradec Králové for four seasons. Between 2014–2018, he began focusing on coaching, leading goalie programs at Mountfield HK and with the Czech International Hockey Camps. During this time, he worked closely with several promising goaltenders, including Jan Kasal, Tomáš Vomáčka, and Karel Vejmelka, supporting their development through structured training and consistent mentorship.

Rudi’s first international coaching experience came in 2017, when he led a month-long goalie clinic in Shanghai in partnership with the Czech International Hockey Camp, introducing a new generation of players in Asia to elite European goaltending techniques. In 2018, he joined the Hong Kong Typhoons as Head Goalie Coach, where he spent two impactful seasons developing goalies across multiple age groups before stepping away during the COVID years.

The depth of experience and passion that Rudi brings to the Junior Tigers program is invaluable, helping to elevate goalie development with both structure and heart.
