Now it’s official:
Žiga Jeglič and
Jan Urbas were from the
Fishtown Penguins
adopted. This ends a long and successful era for two influential offensive players in the DEL. Both were among the most important top performers for years and played a key role in the sporting upswing of Bremerhaven. Now there are increasing signs that their next step will be back into the world
ICE Hockey League
could lead.
Jeglič: Creative head with an EBEL past
Žiga Jeglič knows the league very well from previous years. Already at HK Jesenice he impressed with strong offensive performances in the then EBEL and quickly developed into a playmaker. His career then took him through several top European leagues, including the KHL and the DEL, where he even won the title with ERC Ingolstadt in 2014. In Bremerhaven he remained a reliable scorer and important pacemaker in the power play until the end.
Urbas: Goal threat and leadership qualities
Also
Jan Urbas can look back on a successful year at Villacher SV, where he impressively demonstrated his ability to score goals. The physically strong striker later developed into a real top player and leader in the DEL. With consistently high scores and his role as a leader, he was an integral part of the Fischtown Pinguins, crowned by winning the DEL top scorer ranking in 2023/24.
Return to Ljubljana?
The most likely target is
HK Olimpija Ljubljanawhere both players have been traded for a long time. A return home would be a strong signal for them not only emotionally but also in terms of sport
ICE Hockey League. With Jeglič and Urbas, Olimpija could sign two experienced top players who would bring additional quality and attention to the league.
