HK Olimpija Ljubljana have presented Nick Bonino as their new signing. The historic US national team player is moving directly from the NHL to the ICE Hockey League.
Bonino is a well-known name in this country not only for his two Stanley Cups, but also for his time at HC Neumarkt. During the NHL lockout in 2012/13, to the surprise of many, the NHL star moved to the Italian second division and recorded an incredible 19 points in 52 games for the Lower Landers.
The now 36-year-old brings with him a wealth of experience from the prestigious NHL, where he scored over 973 points in 400 appearances. His career took him to renowned teams such as the Anaheim Ducks, where he made his NHL debut, the Vancouver Canucks, the Nashville Predators, the Minnesota Wild and the Pittsburgh Penguins, with whom he won two Stanley Cups (2016 and 2017). Last season he played for the New York Rangers.
Captain of the American team
Bonino has also left his mark on an international level. With the US national team he took part in several world championships, won two bronze medals and led the team as captain in 2023.
