Anže Kopitar relocates family to Slovenia after NHL retirement

Former Los Angeles Kings captain and two-time Stanley Cup champion Anže Kopitar has relocated his family from California to Slovenia following his retirement from the NHL. After a 20-season career with the Kings, Kopitar and his wife, Ines, have moved back to their homeland to begin a new chapter.

Ines Kopitar shared via social media that the family's transition has faced minor logistical hurdles. A shipping container containing their personal belongings was randomly selected for a customs inspection in Los Angeles, which is expected to delay the delivery of their items to Slovenia by one to two weeks.

The family intends to settle near Lake Bled, where they already own property and plan to build a new home. This move follows Kopitar's emotional farewell to the Los Angeles community and his professional hockey career.
