SHL club Luleå IF announces that they have terminated the contract of Finnish defender Kasper Kotkansalo, 27.
Kotkansalo moved to Sweden this season to join the ranks of the SHL defending champions from the Liiga club Kiekko-Espoo. The 190 cm tall defender played 21 games for Luleå without scoring points.
Journalist Sasha Huttunen reported last week that Kotkansalo will play for Kiekko-Espoo next season.
Kotkansalo has previously represented Ässät and HIFK in the Liiga, but his team for the remainder of the season is not yet known.
Luleå Hockey och Kasper Kotkansalo har kommit överens om att avsluta avtalet i förtid.
Vi tackar därför Kasper för sin tid i Vårat Gäng och önskar honom lycka till med framtida utmaningar.
