Was mentioned in the WJC gold medal thread, but I think this deserves some more attention in light of recent interview that Pospisil gave.

After the WJC Pospisil went to facebook to share his experiences in the hopes it would lead to some change with the program (it is written in Slovakian):

Summary of some of the things Pospisil said:

Bokros never wanted him (the top point scorer on the USHL) in the selection camp. Pospisil was only invited because the president of the Slovakian Hockey Federation, Miroslav Satan overruled Bokros
When he arrived in Nanimo for the camp no one from the team met him. He waited in the airport for 1.5 hours until someone from the team finally texted him and told him to take a cab to the arena
Pospisil became sick the morning of the exhibition game against Canada. The coach told him if he didn't play that night he wouldn't be on the team. So Posipisil said if that is your decision and even called his parents to tell them he didn't make the team. The team captains had to intervene and begged Pospisil to stay and the coach ended up giving him 3 days to recover after calling Satan.
Bokros made a public joke that Pospisil had made a credit card payment to get on the team.
Claimed the atmosphere and communication around the team was very bad. Even the teams leaders had a great deal of negativity
Other criticisms about the systems that were used

Since Pospisil posted another former player and parents came out with similar stories:

What I do find interesting is that in the latest interview Pospisil says along with older players, the Flames warned him about Bokros:
