Jakub Voracek loved his time at the Olympics playing for the Czech Republic.
"It was a great experience," the 24-year-old Voracek said. "I think it was a great setup -- the village, Olympic Park. I really enjoyed it. It's too bad it was short like that. Unfortunately, we had to play a very hard team in the quarter-finals. But it's good to be back now. . You have to learn from every game, every shift that you play there. For some, it happens only once in a lifetime. It was another step in my hockey career. I'm just going to take it and hopefully use it in the future and especially in the season." Voracek has 15 goals and 40 points thus far.
