Kouvola’s KooKoo strengthens its offensive lineup with Swedish center Axel Holmström, reports Ilta-Sanomat.
The 29-year-old Holmström moves to the Liiga from the Czech top league, where he played last season with HC Litvínov. He recorded 12 points in 26 games (6+6).
In Finland, he is known from Vaasan Sport, where he spent four seasons from 2021 to 2025. In his last season in Vaasa, he achieved his career-best Liiga points: 42 points in the regular season (17+25).
He has also gained experience from Sweden’s SHL, North America’s AHL, and a brief stint in the Swiss league.
KooKoo enters the new season from a strong position, as the club achieved its first Liiga medal, silver, last spring.
