On Holecek. (Apologies in advance for my use of simplified Latin letters without Czech markings/letters/etc.)

From the Dec. 1998. A poll of 50 experts on Czech hockey (and Bobby Clarke, apparently) that vote on the best players in Czech history. I believe it says that Dzurilla was not included in the voting - is he not Czech? Is he considered a Slovak?
Mind you, this is from Dec. 1998. Already Hasek was a near-unaminous winner. Holecek did not place in the top ten, but was the second goalie behind Hasek - again, on a list that didn't include Dzurilla apparently.
