Antero Mertaranta aside – here is the new Leijonat voice in the World Championships!
Antero Mertaranta’s legendary career as the commentator for the Lions in the World Championships ended last spring. Now the matches are commented by the experienced Jani Alkio, a familiar voice from the SM-liiga and NHL.
Alongside Alkio as an expert in Switzerland are former Lions captain Lasse Kukkonen and Jesse Joensuu, who has played over 1000 professional matches. Kukkonen will comment on the first week of the World Championships, while Joensuu will cover the second half of the tournament.
Other experts include Olli Jokinen, Juhamatti Aaltonen, Karri Kivi, and Sami Kapanen. The studio will be hosted by Teemu Niikko and Suvi Puukangas.
The World Championships will be held in Zurich and Fribourg, Switzerland, from May 15 to 31. All of the Lions’ matches will be broadcast on the MTV3 channel and the Katsomo service.
