Teemu Selänte’s group should negotiate with Jari Kurri if it wants to bring the Jokers back on the league map. Jussi Eskola
The Jokerit ry, which manages the name and logo of the hockey team Helsinki Jokerie and runs the junior activities, commented on the turn reported in the media yesterday regarding the future of the club’s representative team.
Teemu Selänten Nauravat Narrit Oy, which appeared in the face, wanted to bring the Jokers back to the SM league, but the company’s negotiations with the union failed.
Jokerit ry’s press release corrects that negotiations for the future of Jokerit are taking place Jari Kurrin with, because there is still a valid agreement between the parties regarding the Jokerit trademark.
Jokerit Hockey Club Oy, owned by Kurri, was responsible for the KHL activities of the Jokerit representative team until spring.
– The contract has not expired in the spring, as has been presented in the media, in the bulletin it is said.
– Ry’s goal has been to find, together with Jari Kurri, the best and most sustainable option for the Jokers to return permanently and successfully to Finnish league hockey.
Jokerit Hockey Club Oy manages the junior team under the age of 20, for which the association is responsible.
– The claim in the media that Ry did not qualify Nauravat Narrit Oy is not true. Ry has discussed with Nauravat Narrit Oy as one option to guarantee the best future for the Jokers.
Ry assures that the background people of Nauravat Narrit Oy can still be possible background people in the Joker’s future.
