Well, it's not like Croatia has much to brag about when it comes to hockey. They are in a tier below Italy and Slovenia.
Although, they are making some gains. Frank Mahovlich had a hockey camp there a while back and they are looking at getting more of their teams into the Slovenian league for better competition. As well, a Croatian born and trained player will be playing in Finland this year which is a pretty big deal. Besides Goran Bezina (who was Swiss trained I believe), it's probably the highest profile hockey export from there.
