Utah Mammoth’s Canadian head coach Andre Tourigny spawned the role of Finnish striker Matias Maccell in the late last season.

Turku joined the Utah lineup three times after 4 Nations breaks.

– There was really no explanation for it that the role was small for the rest of the season. I’ve been thinking about it myself, but I don’t know. But it was small, Maccelli tells Iltalehti.

In 55 matches, 8+10 = 18 power points remained powerful in 55 matches. A year earlier, MacCecelli scored 17 goals and 57 power points.

The everyday life of an NHL player is that with a small role, trade rumors start. So it is for Maccell, as the media rumors in their rumors of a man for different teams.

– I don’t know what the situation is about a possible trad. It’s something I can’t influence myself. Utah is a nice place, the team has nice guys, the same guys there have been there for many years. I have no decision -making power, Maccelli says.

Maccelli has now played 224 regular season matches in the world’s toughest hockey league and made 27+93 = 130 power points.

Mammoth’s General Manager Bill Armstrong is a man who will end up next season of the fate of a TPS breeder that earns 3.425 million bucks.

Maccelli enjoyed a great time in the state of Utah, which has other sports. The Finns know quite well the NBA team jazz, whose big star is Lauri Markkanen.

“Lauri is the biggest star in that area,” says Maccelli.

– We saw some time in the hall during the season. Lauri went to our games a couple of times and talked after the games. Personally, I have three jazz games during the season. But quite a lot of it was busy with both of their own hustle and bustle.

Maccelli followed until the end of the NHL season, even though their own games were already in the regular season. The Florida Panthers again won the Edmonton Oilers in the finals series.

– It was nice to see that the Finns won the bun. The Panthers championship was by no means surprising. They have a good team there, got some good players on the transfer limit and won for the second time in a row.
