Career

Alois Hadamczik was initially active as a hockey player himself, but was unable to achieve any notable success and played for various clubs exclusively in lower-class leagues.

In the following five years he stood at his ex-club HC Železárny Třinec behind the gang, with which he achieved the greatest success of his career up to then when he and his team were runner-up in the 1997/98 season. From 2000 to 2002 he trained again with HC Vítkovice, with whom he was defeated by HC Sparta Prague in the 2001/02 season only in the playoff final . The capital club signed Hadamczik after the end of the season, but he was unable to achieve any notable successes at Sparta in the subsequent period.
