The attacker has left HIFK – the new address has now been revealed!
The forward Jesse Seppälä, 24, who has represented HIFK for the last six seasons, is moving abroad for the next season. He has signed a contract with the Austrian club Pioneers Vorarlberg, which plays in the multinational ICEHL league.
Seppälä’s contract with HIFK was originally set to cover the next season as well. However, HIFK announced in May that they had terminated Seppälä’s contract.
Last season, Seppälä played 35 games for HIFK, with stats of 0+3. Over the last five seasons, he played a total of 153 regular season games in the league (8+15=23) and 13 playoff games (1+0).
In his career, Seppälä has also played for one season in North America in the junior league WHL.
Next season, Pioneers Vorarlberg will feature a significant Finnish presence both in coaching and among the players. Read more here.
