Veteran NHL goalie Jaroslav Halak reportedly has an agreement to play for his hometown team Slovan Bratislava.
The team says that Halak will practice with them for the next two weeks and then will make a decision on a contract before the end of the month.
From Halak:
"I greatly appreciate Slovan's interest in my services. It is the club from which I bounced back to great overseas hockey. That is also why I would like to be absolutely correct and open to the club management, my future teammates and last but not least to Slovan's fans at this moment . I realize that I have not stood in goal in a competitive match for more than ten months, even though I have tried to keep myself in good physical condition all this time. We have agreed with the management of Slovan that I will come to the club and sign a proper contract only if I will pass a thorough medical examination without any problems and my body will confirm that it is 100% ready to undergo the load in the matches that await the club at the peak of the season," said Jaroslav Halák on the transfer.
Honestly, how much would you love to see a 39 year old Halak winning a championship in his hometown?
