The following players have been nominated for November:

Miha Beričič (2004) – Olimpija Ljubljana
The 21-year-old Slovenian has been nominated for Young Star of the Month for the third time this season, though he has yet to claim first place. In November, the forward impressed with one goal and one assist. The Ljubljana native scored his goal shorthanded in a 4:1 home win against Bolzano.

Donát Horváth (2004) – Hydro Fehérvár AV19
Defenseman Donát Horváth is currently playing his first full season with the Hydro Fehérvár AV19 pro team. Last season, the Hungarian appeared in eleven games but did not record a single point. This season, he has already collected six points, including four assists in November alone. In his last five appearances, the right-shot blueliner was held off the scoresheet only once.

David Waschnig (2007) – EC-KAC
At just 18 years old, David Waschnig is the youngest nominee for Young Star of the Month November. The forward was already nominated in October. In November, he impressed with two goals and an assist in EC-KAC’s 6:2 home victory over the Pioneers Vorarlberg. He also added an assist in the road loss in Innsbruck. Overall, Waschnig finished November with a +3 plus/minus rating.

Laurin Wempe (2005) – Pioneers Vorarlberg
With Laurin Wempe, a second defenseman has been nominated for Young Star of the Month November. The 20-year-old has already appeared in 18 games this season for the Pioneers Vorarlberg. He also suits up for EC Bregenzerwald in the Alps Hockey League. In November, the left-shot defender scored his first-ever win2day ICE Hockey League goal during the team's 5:4 home win against Villach (VSV).
