HC Migross Asiago
Asiago continues to rely on head coach John Parco and assistant coach Mirko Bianchi. Both have extended their contracts and will carry on the club’s current path into the upcoming season.

KHL Sisak
Sisak adds a new import from North America: Anthony Tabak joins the Knights. The 24-year-old Canadian forward with Croatian roots arrives from the University of Guelph (USports), where he recorded 21 points (9 goals, 12 assists) in 26 games last season. Standing 194 cm tall, Tabak brings size, physicality, and energy to Sisak’s lineup. In addition, top scorer Vito Idzan remains with the club. The 22-year-old enters his third season and was a key offensive contributor last year.

EK Zeller Eisbären
Leon Widhalm is set for his fourth season in Zell am See. The forward is known for his relentless, high-energy playing style and does not shy away from physical battles. Last season, the left-shot forward also served as assistant captain in away games.

Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan
Sterzing secures two young players long term: forward Leo Kruselburger will continue to provide speed and offensive spark, while goaltender Damian Leitner enters his second season, aiming to take the next step in his development between the pipes.

Hafro Hockey Cortina
Cortina continues to emphasize identity and tradition: Filippo Pompanin will once again wear the blue-and-white jersey next season. The 23-year-old homegrown player has already made over 200 AHL appearances for the club.

HC Meran/o Pircher
Jakob Fuchs remains with Meran. The 22-year-old forward is heading into his fifth AHL season and has tallied an impressive 64 points in 165 games. With his work ethic, determination, and consistency, Fuchs has established himself as a key part of Meran’s offense.
