“Boris was a great man and a fantastic teammate. He loved hockey, his family, teammates, and his wife. Everyone is really sad that he’s gone, ”Jardine talked after the game.

After the season was interrupted, Jardine left home to explore her thoughts with her family.
“It was a difficult time. I thought of everything, even quitting, ”the defender said.
“In the future, it’s just important for everyone who knows them to stay good and live to the fullest as long as we’re here.”
Jardine did not get the start they wanted for the match. Immediately in the first installment of SaiPan Filip Pyrochta yelled at the defender and made the most sooty Niilo Halonen with. Jardine followed on his knees on the surface of the ice as Halonen saved the situation.
In the second installment, however, the debutant also recorded a plus in his power stats while on the ice during Schmaltz’s 1-0 goal.
2 – 0 for HIFK Roni Hirvonen, and the third hit nailed the final moments Otto Paajanen.
SaiPa had to change goalkeeper in the first half of the match with the score still 0-0. Niclas Westerholm no longer returned from the locker room even to the changing bench when he was 19 years old Juho Markkanen skated between poles.
“It didn’t really stick to the booth, so it was changed,” the coach said Pekka Virta avoided the question of the health of his goalkeeper.
The setback is big for SaiPa, as Westerholm has been one of the hottest goalkeepers in the league at the beginning of the season.
