NHL ENTRY DRAFT

June 22, 1996

Jaroslav Svejkovsky

Yes, I'm very excited. I'm happy, yes, sir greatest day of my life. Greatest day of my life.

I know about wanting to be -- I'm just excited they picked me in the first round.

They've got a lot of players who I like. I like guys like Peter Bondra, guys from Washington.

I would try to practice hard. I would try training as hard as I can and I hope next year in better level than junior league. I hope I can play NHL, so I'm trying to do everything for this. It's my dream.

Yes, I've been there.

About four weeks ago. I had some things, so I was there and I saw training camp stuff like that about Washington Capitals.

I was just -- I've never been in the locker room. Guys like, I don't know Bondra (ph) and Wyndacof (ph), so I'm very excited.

Thanks.
