HC Kriens-Luzern reports a top transfer for next season: Milos Orbovic, right back player of the Serbian national team and the Ukrainian Champions League participant HC Motor from Zaporozhye, will join the team with a two-year contract.

The 27-year-old Orbovic is supposed to fix a known shortcoming in the right structure: the penetration from a distance. «He has a tough shot and can score goals from 10 meters. He will be an asset ”, said Perkovac.

Another left-hander should follow

We are a serious partner, have never been in financial difficulties, pay wages on time, and have interesting ambitions. In addition, Switzerland offers an incredibly high quality of life. “
