With Eetu Elo, a second player from the Polish side STS Sanok comes to HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice. Last season, the 25-year-old Finn recorded 27 points (12G, 15A) in 26 games. Before that, the winger played in the Finnish junior leagues and Mestis.



Martin Castlunger has signed the renewal of his contract at the Fassa Falcons. The 27-year-old forward heads into his thirteenth season in the white and blue jersey. In the last Alps Hockey League campaign the team's captain earned 29 points (9G, 20A) in 36 appearances. In addition, the "Falcons" presented a new import player: 25-year-old Albin Lindgred joined the Italians. The Swedish defender started the past season at Valerenga in Norway (2G|9A) and ended it at Odense Bulldogs (1G|4A). 



The EC Adler Stadtwerke Kitzbühel signs 21-year-old Latvian Raivo Freidenfelds. The forward earned 37 points (18G, 19A) in 41 games for his home club HK Liepāja in Latvia's top league last season. He also played two international matches for his country on senior level.



Dennis Kustatscher stays with his home team Fassa Falcons. The 21-year-old is now entering his sixth Alps Hockey League season. In a total of 140 games, the defender recorded one goal and five assists.



Cameron Ginnetti is returning for a third AHL season with Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey. The 23-defender has played 78 games for the former champions so far, scoring six goals and dishing 24 assists. 



Last year's semifinalist EHC Lustenau continued its roster planning and agreed on contract extensions with a quartet. In addition to defenders Brian Connelly and Albert Krammer, Dominic and Lucas Haberl will also remain with the "Sticker".

"We are very happy that we could also extend the contracts with these four players. Brian Connelly and Albert Krammer are very important for our team in defense and will also provide the necessary stability in the defense in the coming season. It is also very important for us to be able to work with a basic framework of homegrown players. That's why we're happy to have two more strong forward from our own junior squad in Dominic and Lucas Haberl. With their 25 and 23 years respectively, they can already look back on a lot of experience and pass this on to the young players," says Manuel Hämmerle Vice President of EHC Lustenau.
