Raphael Wolf returns to Linz
Defender Raphael Wolf returns to the Black Wings 1992 after his guest appearance at EC Grand Immo VSV. While the 25-year-old Salzburg player signed a contract for two seasons, the young forward Jakob Mitsch could be tied for another season with the Upper Austrians.

Ljubljana starts with new head coach in ICE
HK SŽ Olimpija Ljubljana will start its first season in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League with head coach Mitja Sivic. Last season, the 41-year-old Slovenian was in charge of Alps Hockey League rivals HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice.

After four seasons with Lyon and two seasons with HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice as head coach, Mitja Sivic is now entering his first season in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League with HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana. The team from Ljubljana is anything but unknown to the 41-year-old Slovenian, as he has already played eight seasons with the Dragons.

First new import for Pustertal
The sporting management of HC Pustertal has signed the first foreign player. Canadian offensive defenseman Shane Hanna moves from Rungsted Seier Capitals (Denmark) to the Wolves.

Shane Hanna played the last two years in Denmark, where he scored a total of 109 scorer points. With the Rungsted Seier Capitals, the Canadian also gained experience in the Champions Hockey League.
