'''Jan Leopold Alois "Koza" Palous''' (October 25, 1888 – September 25, 1971) was a Czechoslovak/Bohemian ice hockey player. <br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
He began his club career with [[Akademicky SK]] and later went to play for [[ČSS Praha]], [[AC Sparta Praha]], and [[HC Slavia Praha]]. Referred to as "Koza" (the goat) by his friends, he regularly played under pseudonyms, including "Valda", "Xaver", "Pal", and "Algy".<br />
<br />
Internationally, Palous made numerous appearances for the [[Bohemian National Team]] and later the [[Czechoslovak National Team]]. He appeared at five [[Ice Hockey European Championships]], two [[LIHG Championships]], and the [[Olympic Games]] in 1920 and 1924. He scored Bohemia's first ever international goal at the [[1909 Coupe de Chamonix]].<br />
<br />
He was initially known as Jan Pallausch, but legally changed his name to Jan Arnold Palous on September 5, 1947. Palous was a film director from 1914 to 1918 and authored two books on hockey during the 1950s. <br />
