The Czech… 😎… mates, V & V, are back together. (No, I’m not apologizing for that pun.)

Monday, Jakub Vrana and Vitek Vanecek both posted videos of each to their respective Instagram Stories announcing they were hanging out likely in their native Czech Republic.

We’ll explain why this is a very significant development in a minute.

Czech BFFs @jakubvranaa and @vitacz15 are back together

A post shared by RMNB (@rmnb_blog) on

The two hockey players are longtime close friends. It’s a friendship that was first forged at Capitals Development Camp and then flourished during their time with the American Hockey League’s Hershey Bears.

The two Czechs were drafted by the Capitals in the first and second round of the 2014 NHL Draft. The Capitals documented a day in the life of Jakub Vrana at camp and got a glimpse of what their relationship was like – from eating to playing ping pong.

“Hurry up and eat,” Vrana commands Vanecek like he’s a child. “We have to go soon. Take [the food] with you.”

Vrana, who had a better command of the English language, eventually became a translator for Vanecek so he could speak to North American media. We once translated the translation process between the two and it’s one of the best RMNB posts we’ve ever done.

In Hershey, the two players became closer. Chocolate Hockey’s Kyle Mace documented the two playing FIFA together.

It was funny.

But what’s special about the two is that they are each other’s biggest fans.

They support…

…and challenge each other.

There are so many hugs.

And so many smiles.

So that’s why it’s great they’re back together. It’s just better for the soul, you know?
