How is the development of Ice Hockey in Balkans countries (Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina) ?

Do they even have a pro league there ?

Serbia and Croatia have a national league (non pro), while Bosnia actually has a development project and maybe in next future a nat. league

Comparing 2 leagues(CRO and Serbia), Croatian league is more competitive and croatian teams play also in Interliga (a multinational league with hungarian and Slovenian teams) and in slovenian league

Hey thank you ! I'm going to live 4 months in Bosnia, and I will miss hockey a lot. So can you give me some websites when I could find those leagues in Serbia and Croatia ??

I'm Croatian and I have absolutely no idea about a national league site.

We only have 4 teams, 2 of which can play (up to a point) with teams from Slovenia, Hungary, etc.

The best team is called Medvescak Zagreb. You can start there. They have some good Slovakians playing for them now.

Manny Malhotra and Brian Willsie (and Pettinger too, I believe) spent part of the lockout season in SLovenia, playing for Olimpija Ljubljana.
