Their new players are Croatian goalie Vladimir Božić and his Ukrainian colleague Igor Čupryna, Russian right back Alexei Peskov and Croatian youngster Ivan Ivković as well as their youngster left back David Pogany.
First part of the preparations was already held in Štrbske Pleso and now they will try to defend last season's title from Doboj tournament. Only bigger problem for new coach will be Rabek's absence in the first part of preparations. These are players Tatran can count on in their fifth SEHA season:
