Teemu Selanne has announced that he will become the owner of Jokerit.
In the next few weeks, there will be an update. A lot of positivity, and everyone is excited. It’s a new beginning.
I am joining the club as an owner and also to be actively involved in the club. I have long admired Joakert, Selanne said.
Selanne played in the Jokerit system from 1986 to 1992 before leaving for the NHL.
Recall that on April 5, “Jokerit” officially announced its departure from the KHL. The club would like to return to the Finnish league in 2023.
On 14 April, it became known that Jari Kurri, the general manager of jokerit, had become the owner of 100% of the club’s shares.
