Krister Savonen, one of the regular faces of the Tampere Classic and the Finnish floorball team, will end his career as a player. The player reported this on their Instagram account.
The club Classic, represented by Savonen, 27, won the Finnish championship.
– Yesterday a great decision was made for the season when Family managed to elevate the Finnish Championship. At the same time, my own floorball end. The matter is still difficult for itself to accept, but still the only right decision. There are still blood challenges in everyday life, there is no other option, Savonen wrote in his publication.
In his release, the two-time world champion thanked all the people who have been involved in his journey.
– The direction is a bit lost, but it is towards a better tomorrow
