In the press release, Eteläpääty ry calls on the Jokerit ry, which runs the club’s junior activities, to protect the club by withdrawing the club logo from the representative team playing in KHL.
The Helsinki Jokers’ largest supporter association Eteläpääty ry demands the club’s immediate withdrawal from the hockey league KHL.
In the press release, Eteläpääty hopes that the Jokerit ry, which runs the club’s junior activities, will protect the club by withdrawing the club logo from the representative team playing in KHL.
The demands are based on the crisis in Ukraine. Russia has concentrated its forces on the Ukrainian border, where the threat of war is obvious. The supporters’ association has previously taken a strong stance on the human rights situation in Belarus and opposed the Joker’s gambling in Minsk.
The Jokers have been playing at KHL since the fall of 2014. The team is set to start the playoffs against Moscow’s Spartak in early March.
