Heartbreaking video of Dominik Hasek surfaces online as he's forced out of Czech Hockey Hall of Fame
Dominik Hasek is the greatest Czech born goaltender in hockey history. He wore his country's jersey and flag with pride at every opportunity. However, a sad situation is currently occurring in the Czech Republic.
Several former players are being forced to pack up all of their Hall of Fame artifacts, like uniforms and equipment as the Czech Hockey Hall of Fame has been forced to shut down for good.
According to reports the Hall of Fame has run into financial issues and no longer has the money to continue to operate. Due to the closure players such as Dominik Hasek have been asked to picked up their equipment. In a video posted to Twitter, Hasek can be seen packing his gear up into a shopping cart.
Translation: Vezina Trophy, jerseys, skates, hockey sticks...Ring for [Stanley Cup...Everything you @hasek_dominik had to pack up and take three shopping carts to the car...It's not for nothing they say: 'Who doesn't appreciate history, doesn't appreciate himself'...Pry economics reasons... But before the World Cup? It's hard to recreate something like that.
There are rumors that a new location could be opened in the future, but it's tough to see a legend like Hasek pickup his equipment like this.
