Raimo from Helmi has become a real hockey player as a coach in recent years. The employer has changed no less than four times in the last four years.
With these prospects, the new job must also be applied for next season, when the contract with Ilves ended.
– There is no agreement for anything, Helminen told about his situation.
However, Ilves’ biggest club legend made an interesting revelation after the victorious bronze match that ended the season.
– I could have signed a longer contract with Ilves in the fall. It was in my hands.
In more detail, Helminen did not go into detail as to why we are now in a situation without an agreement.
– This one-year contract always suits me well. Now let’s see where we are next season.
Helminen jumped on the “moving train” in the fall, when Ilves hired him as an assistant coach just before the sensational change of head coach A group from Myrrh Antti Pennaseen.
However, the promising season ended with a big disappointment in the semi-finals against the Pelicans.
– A place in the final was applied for, so in that sense the goals were not met. However, we were a good team, and personally I am satisfied with the players’ contribution, Helminen praised.
