Brynäs lånar Finnish Mikko Niemelä från Kärpät resten av sösenning.
The 32-year-old right shooting defender is described as a physical and self-sacrificing player.
Already on Monday morning he joined the rest of the squad and the hope is that he will make his home debut against Oskarshamn on Tuesday evening.
Trio Brynäs helfinska coach with head coach Mikko Manner I’m afraid of the game of soccer.
Mikko Nimela was also formerly teammates with Tomi Karhonen, David Sklinica and Hans Bjorninen and Mikko Manner was a coach.
– Miko Nimela won a lot, he has a lot of routine and experience from national team matches. He’s a popular teammate and he’s familiar with our way of playing, so he’ll settle in quickly. He is a defensive linebacker with good size and plays the sacrifice game. Physically and intrinsically, while also being very mobile on the ice, says sporting director Johan Allsen.
“Puts the team first”
Brynäs has been a bit skinny on the backside due to injuries, but he now has nine appearances in the squad.
I see myself as a reliable and loyal player who always tries to play with a big heart and puts the team first. I’m good at skating and I think this would make me a good fit in the SHL. Miko Nimela says I am looking forward to meeting the team and the fans and will do my best for Brinas.
want to recruit more
Brenas announced Wednesday that striker Johan Larsson will be out for three to five weeks due to a lower body injury.
– We constantly review team building. We feel like we did well in some areas but not so well in others. We know there is a demand for a striker and we keep looking for the right player for us, but this one hasn’t appeared yet. We do not intend to recruit for the sake of recruitment, but we need to be financially responsible. The fact that we are strengthening the defense by bringing in Miko Nimela will not prevent us from making more changes if we wish to, but we will only act if we really believe we have found the right player, says Johan Allsen.
Mikko Nimela is 187 cm tall and weighs 90 kg. He has three titles in the Finnish championships with the modern Carpathian club from Oleborg.
Brinas play away against Oskarshamn on Tuesday, away against Linköping on Thursday and at home against Frolunda on Saturday.
