For the 33-year-old it is a return to the win2day ICE Hockey League. In the 2020/21 season, the left-shooter was champion with the EC-KAC before moving to the Steinbach Black Wings Linz for one season. The 190cm tall and 94kg defender is also a current Slovenian international and has always kept fit in recent weeks. Gregorc is already in Graz and could make his debut this weekend, the 99ers published in an official statement.

Blaz Gregorc: "I will do my best to help the team. I know Graz didn't have the best start, but now I want to help turn it around."

NHL experience for the Vienna Capitals
The 25-year-old Carsen Twarynski strengthens the offense of the spusu Vienna Capitals with immediate effect. The native of Caglary already played 22 games for the Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL, scoring one goal. In addition to his 22 NHL games, the left-shooter played 284 AHL games, scoring 90 points (45G / 45A).

Carsen Twarynski: "I know Head Coach Marc Habscheid from my junior days, he was the coach of an opposing team. We have spoken a few times, they were good conversations. Friends of mine have played in Vienna in the past, I have always received only positive answers to my questions. Vienna is one of the most livable cities in the world and I've heard that the hockey and the fans are also very good. So there are many reasons why I chose the spusu Vienna Capitals. I am happy about the opportunity to play here. I am a positive person and I will give my best in every game."
