Players who left the jokers got up to speed in a neighboring club.
Helsinki IFK broke its loss spiral in the Ice Hockey League against SaiPa on Wednesday.
IFK got new players when they came from the Jokers Iiro Pakarinen and Teemu Turunen were involved. Pakarinen even put the puck in the finish from the back post and sealed the winning scores of the match 6-1.
Move The KHL club from the Jokers back to the League and the neighboring club IFK was in a hurry when Russia started a major war against Ukraine.
“It’s nice to come to a familiar club when I’ve played here before. KHL ran out of us as it ran out. Quite a sad thing, ”Pakarinen told HS after the first league match in 2014.
“It was great to come here, continue through and there was interest here.”
Pakarinen was less than two weeks ago winning Olympic gold for Finland in Beijing. Last summer, he played for the team that won the World Championships in Lions in Riga.
The decision to continue through IFK was kind of easy. If you are going to fight for a place in this spring’s World Cup in Tampere, you have to play somewhere. Training alone can make it difficult to pave the way for the Lions group at home.
“Pretty soon it became clear to us that he wasn’t there [Jokereissa] games continue. This is a really good option and nice to be able to come and live at home. ”
With jokers has a KHL agreement with Pakarinen, which was terminated for this period. Otherwise, a transfer to the League would not have been possible.
“There’s still a deal for the Jokers next season, but I don’t know more about that yet.”
The Jokers gave up the KHL playoffs this spring, and in the current world situation, they can no longer play in the Eastern League anyway.
“It looks a bit like that, but you see it over time. Nothing sure has been said. This is not the optimal situation, but I will try to focus on this now. ”
“When the season ends here at some point, we start thinking about the next season. Before that, let’s put everything in the league. ”
Pakariselle The encounter with SaiPan was the first game since the Olympic final. In the beginning, I reportedly had to play a simple league hockey and drive myself into new patterns.
“Yes it was noticed that it was just over a week from the previous game. The leg at some point weighed a little as a few longer slices came. As the game progressed, it felt better all the time. ”
“Now the karsts are off the machine and it’s good to start healing from this.”
When the games at the Jokers ended, Pakarinen aims to win the championship at IFK.
“That’s why we came here.”
