Alex Ciernik is one of Slovakia's top prospects eligible for the 2023 NHL draft. He breaks down game footage with Tony Ferrari, discusses the world juniors and more.
Game Tape with Tony is an interview series with NHL draft prospects and host Tony Ferrari. Combining a laid-back interview with breaking down game tape with the prospects, Game Tape has become an excellent way to get a peek into the mindset of players as they look to take the next step in their hockey careers.
On this episode of Game Tape, Tony is joined by Slovak prospect Alex Ciernik of Sodertalje in the Allsvenskan. The duo talks about his success with the Slovak national under-18 team and World Junior Championship squad, his season in Sweden, including his loan to Vasterviks, and how he's adapted to pro hockey.
As always, they break down some game tape, analyze Ciernik's game and discuss what areas of his game he excels in and which areas he needs a bit of work. They finish off the show with a discussion on movies, music, and more.
