NHL's 'My World' YouTube docuseries stars Canadiens' Slafkovsky

The NHL debuts a new YouTube series called "My World," highlighting some of the game's brightest young international stars with episodes debuting throughout the month of January. The newest episode features Montreal Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovsky, a native of Kosice, Slovakia.

In his world: Formal dress wasn't really a thing. Slafkovsky says the night of the 2022 NHL Draft - the one where the Canadiens surprised most experts by taking him No. 1 overall - was his "first time wearing a suit." He had to call his father to his room to help him tie the tie. "Now I know how to tie a tie, but we got no more dress code so I'll probably never need it again," Slafkovsky joked.

What we learned: Slafkovsky doesn't drink coffee. Ever. When cameras followed him in to a coffee shop, the big forward ordered hot chocolate instead, the largest one available, saying he never touches coffee.

What we kind of knew already: Slafkovsky said that fans in Montreal are way more passionate about hockey than in his home country of Slovakia. "It's nice that they care about us," he said. "Montreal on a game day is the best hockey city in the world, in my opinion. I love it." It's also no surprise that he grew up idolizing Marian Hossa, widely regarded as the best two-way Slovakian forward ever.

They said it: Slafkovsky ran into teammate Cole Caufield on the street during the shoot with an arm full of pizzas. Earlier in the show, Slafkovsky was shown being stopped for pictures and called out to by fans, but Caufield walked down the street unimpeded. "Cole, he's a smaller guy so he can blend in and people won't recognize him," Slafkovsky said with a laugh, as if everyone wasn't small to the 6-3, 225-pound forward. "I hope he won't get mad."
