An important part plays the new general partner, the Collect Point company. “The Collect Point company decided to support the team because our work and their play have a lot in common. We work hard, think about the strategy, we definitely “play” a fair play game in accordance to all the rules and law” said the commission agent of the company Collect Point René Hána. The home company sponsors soccer and rugby in England.
The team schedule is extremely full. If we succeed in all three leagues and get to the final, we would play 21 games and the season would end on the 10. of July ů said the team manager David Krejbich. It means 14 games in the basic part of the season, 5 of which at the Athletic stadium in Prague-Eden, 4 on other grounds in the ČR, 3 in Austria and one in Slovakia and Sweden. In all three leagues the play off part is also played.

portion of games will also bring a bigger load for the players and
therefore the Panthers have enlarged their team. The pillar should
become the owner of a Jamaican passport Clinton Graham. Graham was
awarded the most useful player in Austrian league twice. The
offense will be supported by Robin Jonsson from Sweden and Antti
Martikka from Finland. Also, the most talented Czech player, Miloš
Hildebrand returned from his hosting in Finland to join his team.
“We can count on the extraordinary ……Jakob Shrum
“said the the coach Srholec. Shrum was the biggest star of the last
year after all. The coaches son will also come to help the team, he
arrives on Thursday. It is a paradox that in the College League the
son is the mine coach and the senior helps, whereas here the
situation is opposite. There are 7 professional players on the list
of the team, the budget has increased by five or even seven times
from the last year and could be up to 3 million crowns.
