Svoboda returned to the Czech Republic in the summer of 2000 and was committed by HC Excalibur Znojemští Orli , where he replaced the previously rather unsuccessful Pavol Rybár as a regular goalkeeper. After two seasons, in which he reached the playoffs with the Adler , he received strong competition in the goalkeeper position from the 20-year-old Martin Altrichter , so that he only received two missions.
