Kiekko-Vantaa showed the door to the former Liiga forward!
Forward Joel Janatuinen, 30, is heading back to the free market.
The Mestis team Kiekko-Vantaa announces that no contract will be offered to the forward who arrived on a try-out contract in August. Janatuinen has been training with the Vantaa team in recent weeks.
Janatuinen has played 169 regular season games (30+28=58) and 14 playoff games (0+1) in the Liiga, representing TPS and HPK. He was part of TPS’s silver medal team in the spring of 2021.
