TPS head coach Jussi Ahokas told Urheil about Juuso Pärssinen’s situation.
The players and the audience are terrified for the worst time in the Finnish Ice Hockey League match when TPS Juuso Pärssinen fell unconscious on the surface of the ice JYPin Jan Scotkan the force of the rigging that hit the head.
Persian lay on the ice unconscious for a long time until he was carried out of the trough on a stretcher. TPS head coach Jussi Ahokas told Urheilu by telephone that Pärssinen has been transported to the hospital but is conscious.
– He’s lost his memory, a severe concussion. There’s really no more in it, more will be known tomorrow after the investigations, Ahokas said.
Scotka received a penalty for his ugly tackle.
– From the weightless side directly to the head. They do not belong to this species in any form. That’s when it happens, it’s such a terrible thing. It is unfortunate that these sometimes happen. Nothing can be done about it, this is the kind of contact. We need to be able to eradicate such tackles from the species, Ahokas comments.
TPS finally won the match 4-3 after a winning goal shootout. The atmosphere in the locker room was still understandably down to earth.
– By no means does anyone have a good feeling. We now got two points, but as a game this was not good for us and then that “Pärä” situation happened, so the feeling is even more shitty, Ahokas said.
Pärssinen, 21, has been TPS’s second most powerful player in 41 matches this season with points 9 + 23 = 32.
