🦅 WELCOME TO THE HAWKS, KRISS! 🦅

Z velikim veseljem v naši družini pozdravljamo Krissa Liepiņša iz Latvije. 🇱🇻

Kriss je 187 cm visok napadalec, ki je pomemben del svojega razvoja preživel na Švedskem. Dve sezoni je igral za Viggbyholms IK U18, kjer je nastopal v tekmovanjih J18 Region in J18 Division 1. V švedskem klubskem sistemu je skupaj odigral 40 tekem ter dosegel 9 golov in 9 podaj.

Kriss, dobrodošel med Hawksi! Veselimo se tvoje energije, predanosti in vsega, kar bomo ustvarili skupaj.

Jih prepoznaš? 👀🏒

Na teh fotografijah se skrivajo fantje, ki so bili nekoč del naših programov pri Hiti Academy Bled Hawks — danes pa nekateri med njimi pišejo velike hokejske zgodbe. ❤️🖤🤍

Med njimi so tudi fantje, ki prav zdaj nastopajo v Švici na svetovnem prvenstvu, nekdanji reprezentanti, igralci iz mladinskih reprezentančnih selekcij in tudi brat reprezentanta, ki tekmuje za Norveško.

Zdaj je čas za vas:
kdo so ti fantje?
Napišite svoje ugibanje v komentar. 👇

Enega izmed sodelujočih z največ pravilnimi ugibanji bomo nagradili z belim Hiti Academy Bled Hawks HOODIE-jem. Če bo več pravilnih odgovorov, zmagovalca izžrebamo med njimi.

Jutri objavimo njihove sedanje fotografije v reprezentančnih dresih — direktno iz Švice. 🇸🇮🇨🇭

Ponosni smo, da so bili vsi del naših programov.
Ker velike hokejske zgodbe se pogosto začnejo prav tam, kjer otroci prvič stopijo na led. 🏒



Can you recognize them? 👀🏒

In these photos, some very familiar hockey faces are hiding — boys who were once part of the Hiti Academy Bled Hawks programs and who later went on to write their own hockey stories. ❤️🖤🤍

Among them are players currently representing Slovenia at the World Championship in Switzerland, former national team players, players from youth national teams, and even the brother of a national team player competing for Norway.

Now it’s your turn:
who are these boys?
Write your guesses in the comments. 👇

One participant with the most correct guesses will win a white Hiti Academy Bled Hawks HOODIE. In case of multiple correct answers, the winner will be selected by draw.

Tomorrow, we will reveal their current photos in national team jerseys — straight from Switzerland. 🇸🇮🇨🇭

We are proud that they were all part of our programs.
Because great hockey stories often begin right where children first step onto the ice. 🏒
