"Michael" Miroslav Sláma (February 17, 1917 in Třebíč, Vysočina, Austria-Hungary – November 30, 2008 in Thousand Oaks, California)[1] was an ice hockey player for the Czechoslovak national team. He won a silver medal at the 1948 Winter Olympics[2] and a gold medal at the 1947 Ice Hockey World Championships. In total, he played 26 games and scored 9 goals for the Czechoslovakia national ice hockey team.
Toward the end of World War II, Sláma went to Theresienstadt concentration camp to help people from Třebíč return home.[3] After the communist coup d'état in Czechoslovakia he defected to Switzerland in December 1948 during an ice hockey tournament in Davos, and spent five years as a player and coach there before emigrating to the United States where he became a librarian and library administrator.[4]
After his death in November 2008, his remains were transferred to the Old Cemetery in Třebíč, Czech Republic.
