Armed with ability, equipment and a pool of prospective players - ''a good start'', he says - the only thing missing from his wish list is a venue to make it all happen.
A sports team short of a surface to play on is no barrier to success, though, for the physiotherapist turned builder, who has previous experience with such quandaries. In the Czech Republic, where he hails from, he trucked in a sport-specific grade of sand in order to set up a beach volleyball club next to a lake.
''I was one of the first [in the country] to build one.''
Mr Sramek played ice hockey competitively as a teenager in the Czech Republic and later on a social level. Before he moved to Wanaka two years ago, he lived in Queenstown and played ice hockey there regularly.
''I love the game and I think it's a brilliant game for kids and for adults alike. So I thought, `there must be a way to get a team going here in Wanaka'.''
About 15 interested people have responded to his call for ice hockey players, many with previous playing experience overseas, so fielding a strong side is the easy part.
As for a venue?
''It won't be a problem.''
Car-pooling to either the Queenstown or Alexandra ice rinks was the likely solution for Mr Sramek's fledgling team. Or if conditions allowed, another option was Diamond Lake near Glendhu Bay, which sometimes develops a frozen surface thick enough for ice skating.
''And I have one secret location in my mind,'' Mr Sramek added, declining to elaborate.
He would also make contact with the newly-established Cardrona Curling Club to inquire about sharing facilities. The club was scheduled to open the Wanaka area's only curling rink in the Cardrona Valley today. However, the opening has been delayed to June 29 because there is not enough ice for competition yet.
Mr Sramek hoped a ''visionary person'' in Wanaka would one day develop an artificial ice rink in the town, a dream shared by Cardrona Curling Club secretary-treasurer Roger Gardiner.
Wanaka's weekly ice hockey practices will be run by Mr Sramek, who is encouraging children to take up the sport, too.
''The enjoyment I got out of it, I think it's great, and I'd like to pass it on to others.''
