We are pleased to announce that our team will be strengthened by Alex Petan, a seasoned player with years of successful experience in the ICE league. Alex is a versatile forward, capable of playing both center and wing. Offensively, he is highly consistent and has ranked among the top players on every ICE league team he has played for. He is a tenacious, creative, and technically skilled player.<\/p>\n
Throughout his career, Alex has competed in several European and North American leagues, including the AHL, ECHL, the German DEL, and most notably, the international ICEHL. Over the past two seasons, he played for HC Pustertal, and prior to that, for Feh\u00e9rv\u00e1r AV19 and HC Bolzano \u2014 with whom he won the ICEHL championship.<\/p>\n

One of Alex\u2019s longtime dreams has been to play in the capital city of his father\u2019s homeland. A fun fact \u2014 his middle name is Franc.<\/p>\n

“Anyone who closely follows the ICE league knows Alex Petan well. He is a very intelligent and consistently effective player who excels in a variety of roles. A noteworthy detail is that he shoots right-handed, which brings greater balance to our team setup. What sealed the deal, however, was his strong desire to play for Olimpija. Given the passion and commitment with which he is joining us, we are convinced that we\u2019ve gained more than just a high-quality player \u2014 we\u2019ve gained an energetic leader both on and off the ice.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
