Top promise Frans Karjalahti debuts on Wednesday in HIFK’s representative team, when the red shirts face HPK. The young person is only 16 years and 27 days old.
Karjalahti attacks on the right wing of HIFK’s triple chain. He gets on his chest Petrus Palmun and Otto Sompin.
Karjalahti has achieved a strong result in the under-20 championship series in the early season. In 12 matches, the attacker has already scored 20 (4+16) power points. Measured by point average, the youngster is the second most effective player in the U20 series among those who have played at least 7 matches.
Only KalPan has been more efficient than Karelian Akseli Pulkanen19, who has scored 36 (4+32) points in 21 matches.
In addition to Karjalahti, HIFK gets two other “new” men in the lineup. Suffered from injuries Kalle Ervasti returns to the team downstairs, and was in command of the national team Petr Kodytek jump to the middle of the first chain.
