Five matches will be played in the domestic ice hockey league today.
Ex-hockey player Janne Puhakka29, died as a victim of a homicide in Espoo’s Henttaa on Sunday, October 13.
The SM League told Urheilu that a moment of silence will be held at each of the five game venues on Wednesday in memory of the deceased Janne Puhaka.
In the league, Puhakka represented Espoo Blues in the 2015-16 season. During his career, he also played in France and Canada.
Kiekko-Espoo, the successor team of the Blues, will play its own match against Ässi in Pori today.
Puhakka was a great role model for athletes belonging to sexual minorities. He was the first ice hockey player who played in the SM league to openly talk about his homosexuality.
