The winger played for the Jokers for four seasons.
Jokerit is building a new entry into the League. However, the construction takes place behind quite a fog curtain, because no one knows who currently owns the background company of the representative team.
In any case, the journey of the Helsinki club in the KHL is over, and within a few years the Jokerit will appear in the League. As K-Espoo also appears.
– Having played four seasons in that organization, I would love to see the Jokers in the League. And hopefully the Jokerit will one day play in the League again, Pekka Jormakka thinking.
Dear fans
Even though the deck of the Joker’s representative team is currently very messed up, there are also good things behind the team.
– There are good fans there. And Jokerit is such a team that you either hate it or love it, the 32-year-old Jukurien striker reflects.
The appearance of Jokers in the League would revive Helsinki’s local struggles against HIFK.
– I really hope that the Jokers will be seen in the League again, because it also brings such a spark to everyone.

Jormakka has started the season well. The 32-year-old forward scored 3+1 power points in four CHL games.
In the opening game of the season on Wednesday, the veteran immediately hit KooKoo twice.
The backgrounds of the cheerful autumn are partly surprising.
– The result probably comes from having practiced well. But I’m a bit like reflecting on my own life. Maybe I’m mentally stronger than ever, the player tells Iltalehte.
Head coach of the Jukurs Olli Jokinen gives his veteran player good feedback.
– After last season’s injuries, Jormakka has come back as a top athlete. He’s starting to be where he was in the Joker years. He will fight for the EHT and World Championship place this season if he stays healthy, OJ said after the season opener.
– I can’t say anything about that. It’s still early, a couple of games have been played. Let’s focus on work now, Jormakka answered.
