The pathway

From Ferlach to the world.

NHA alumni play professional hockey across Europe and junior and college hockey in North America — 35 have played U18/U20 World Championships, and two became World Champions: Paul Schmid (AUT) and Martin Crepinsek (SLO). As the first European team ever, NHA won the CAN/AM Challenger Cup in Lake Placid and played the ECEL Tier 1 AAA League in Boston.

"Every player Nordic has brought to the showcase has received the opportunity to play North American junior or college hockey." — Elite Edge Showcase · Nashville, Tennessee
