Player career

Ivo Jan began his career as an ice hockey player at the age of 17 in the 1991/92 season with HDD Olimpija Ljubljana in the Slovenian Ice Hockey League . In the following years, the center was one of the best players in the league. In six different seasons between 1992 and 1999 - only the 1997/98 season he spent with the Johnstown Chiefs in the East Coast Hockey League , in which he scored three goals in 20 games and gave six assists - he achieved one in every competition with Ljubljana Cut over one point per game. His best year was the 1994/95 season , when he scored 39 goals and 43 assists for 82 points in 65 games. He was also named the best player in the Slovenian League that year and was elected to the league's All-Star Team in 1999. During his time at Ljubljana, however, he was not only successful personally but also with his team and was Slovenian champion with Olimpija Ljubljana in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1999 .

In the summer of 1999 he moved to the German ice hockey league for the Revierlöwen Oberhausen . The switch to the much faster and above all tougher DEL was difficult for him at first, especially with a very weak Oberhausen team in which he could hardly be playfully "covered" on the ice, but initially difficult and the team management did not have the patience, longer than 13 To wait for games in which he could only score one goal. He returned to Ljubljana for five interleague games and scored five goals and two assists before going to Finland. But even at JYP Jyväskylä from the SM-liiga he could not prevail in 10 games with only one point win. So he ended the season in the second Finnish player class, the I divisioona, where he recorded 7 goals and 11 assists in 15 games at Hermes from Kokkola . The following season was also marked by changes. For the Skellefteå AIK in the second Swedish division, the HockeyAllsvenskan , the HK Jesenice in the Slovenian league, and DEK Klagenfurt in the Austrian league, he scored 25 goals and 13 assists in 45 games.
