Filip Chlapik is forever grateful that his father took him aside during his youth hockey days to have a little heart-to-heart after he told his father of his urge to be a goaltender.
Nothing against the masked men, but Milan Chlapik envisioned his son excelling in another area on the ice; mainly center.
"I was a big fan of Tomas Vokoun and loved to watch him when I was younger," Filip Chlapik said. "But my dad told me, 'No way. You're going to be a forward.'"
He made the right choice.
