Last season, Linus Nyman, 27, who played for Ässät and KalPa, continues his career in Wales. The Cardiff Devils, playing in the EIHL league, announced that they have signed the Finnish forward to a contract for the remainder of the season.

Nyman has also represented Rauman Lukko during his career, where he broke the 30-point barrier in the Liiga on three different occasions. He won the league championship with the fox jersey in the spring of 2021.

Cardiff is a familiar opponent for Nyman from years ago. The forward scored a hat trick against the Welsh club while playing for Lukko in a CHL match in October 2021.

Cardiff’s head coach Paul Thompson is pleased with the new acquisition.

– I am looking forward to Linus joining our team. He brings speed and offensive power to our group.

– He plays a balanced and versatile game, and he has a lot of experience from the Liiga, Thompson commented in the club’s announcement.

In addition to Nyman, the Finnish representation in Cardiff is also supported by forward Panu Mieho.
