The most valuable player of the league playoffs has been chosen.

The honor went to the championship team Tappara’s Joni Tuulola. The selection is extremely rare in the light of history, as the Jari Kurri award has previously only gone to a defender once.

Tuulola played 17 games in this spring’s playoffs with stats of 4+6. His plus-minus rating was plus nine.
