confirms the transition
Sportbladet previously revealed that Lekkerimäki is in the process of ending negotiations with Örebro, and now he has made his choice. This was revealed by Jonathan’s grandmother (!) in the comment field of Djurgården’s Instagram post.
“Good luck in Orebro. It will be fine. You are the best. A hug from Grandma.” I wrote.
When Sportbladet calls Jonathan, he laughs and confirms the move.
– Yes…it will be Orebro.
What did you think when you saw the comment?
– I laughed a little. Maybe a little clunky. But still fun.
I discussed it with Vancouver, all right?
– Yes exactly. It was a good dialogue. I was very clear that I wanted to stay in Sweden for at least another year. Then we agreed.
What attracts Orebro?
– The widget is complete with coaches and players. It’s a very good feeling, I’m very determined to get there,” Lecrimaki says and tells us he’ll start physical training with the team in a week.
15 points in 15 games in the playoffs
He came to Djurgården in the summer of 2019 and went through the youth and junior ranks of the association on his way to the A team. The final loss in the deciding seventh game against Modu was his last.
– It feels hard. I’ve been here for four years. Sad thing.
After a difficult regular season with some injury concerns, he moved on to the playoffs, where he scored 15 points in as many games.
– I went up and down at the beginning of the season and in the JVM. But in the finals, I think things went better and better. It was a really good feeling.
What caused her breakup?
– trust. I had to play the power game and then pucks finally got in. Then it kept going, says Jonathan Lekerimaki.
