After joining the VHLM post trade deadline and playing in 11 games with 3 goals and 2 assists, Kari Jurri is excited for the upcoming draft to see where he will begin probably a two season career in the minors. 

“Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me where I play the next couple of seasons, I am just happy to be joining the VHL and showcasing in the VHLM my skills and abilities to get drafted to the big league.  I had a great time in Oslo and hope they draft me back since I know some of the players and management already.”

Once the playoffs were over, Jurri has started his off season program of skating, puck handling and shooting drills but also has been working on some areas of his game that are weaknesses like passing and defense.  He is putting several hours a day on the ice in morning and afternoon sessions while watching videos of his game in the evenings to find any improvements in his game.

“I want any team to know that when they draft me, they are going to get a guy that is going to work hard both on and off the ice on improving his game and being a fan favorite in the community as well.  I would love to win a championship in the VHLM and hopefully show the VHL clubs that I am worth a first round pick in a couple of seasons.”
