The Pori took their time after the seventh quarter.
Niklas Rubin left a lasting impression on the supporters of Aces.
The Pori Ace season ended sadly on Wednesday night as it bowed to KalPa in the quarter -finals. KalPa rushed to the top four with a win 4-3.
The extreme dramatic match on Wednesday night ended with KalPa’s 3-2 victory. The home team already led the game 3-0, but the Pori weighed themselves in the final round. In the end, Kiri was missed.
After the Kuopio ice rink had been emptied of the home team supporters and KalPa players had sank into the locker room, the ice saw an exceptional moment.
Ace players stood side by side on their shoulders. The gaze of the shirts was locked in the fanbase of guest supporters.
Ace fans and players sang in one choir Isomäki’s legend. During the chorus, decibels rose clearly.
Both players and fans were obviously moved.

Also moved was the ace superstar watchdog Niklas Rubinfor whom the match may have been the last in the Ace shirt.
The Sports Sucet reported in February that the Swedish guard would play in Kärp next season.
– There were two teams on the ice who wanted to win a lot. KalPa came hard, but we got close and were smoothing the game. I feel pretty difficult now, Rubin said in an interview with MTV after the match.
Rubin described the match series really tight. In his view, both teams would have deserved to win this series.
This season was third for Rubin in Pori and Ace. The company has become dear to the man in a short time.
– My time in Pori meant a lot to me. When I came here, I didn’t know much about Finland or Pori. Starting one day, I have felt welcome and received tremendous support from supporters. The organization was something I had never experienced before, he said.
The goalkeeper was asked about this relationship with fans. Thinking about the answer lifted Vienna’s smile to the man’s face.
– What can I say. When they start calling you king – a pretty special relationship. They mean a lot to me.
KalPa’s journey continues to the semi -finals where it meets Ilves. Another semi -final pair is Lukko -SaiPa.
The semi -finals start on Friday.
