The 22-year-old Aljoša Crnovič has played the running season at Alps Hockey League leader HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice, where he recorded 13 points (6G|7A) in 17 games. He was always part of the Slovenian national team in recent years too. "I decided to move because I want to play hockey at a higher level and Olimpija made it possible. I am looking forward to join such a talented team and I can't wait to play the first game in the ICE", said the two-time Slovenian champion.

Mitja Robar signed a contract for one month, the 38-year-old veteran returns to top level. In total, the Slovenian played 393 games in the former Erste Bank Ice Hockey League, playing for Jesenice, Klagenfurt and Zagreb. He also played very successfully in the DEL and the Czech first division. Most recently, he was on duty with HDK Maribor. "After my time at Zagreb I always had contact with hockey, played and helped out in HDK Maribor. After the many injuries at Olimpija, I trained with the team and then said to myself 'why not'. I feel good, still have a passion for the sport and want to experience playing at a high level again."
