Severstals Aymurzin Expresses Desire to Face Jokerit in KHL Return

Forward of «Severstal,» Danil Aymurzin, expressed his desire to compete against the Finnish team «Jokerit» in the KHL. The Finnish club participated in the Kontinental Hockey League from the 2014/2015 season until the 2021/2022 season, leaving the KHL after the onset of the special military operation.

«If it were possible to bring back a foreign club to the KHL, I’d choose ‘Jokerit.’ I’ve never played against them, but from what I’ve seen, they had a really strong team. It would be intriguing to face them, plus it would be a chance to visit Finland. Which Russian club could be compared to this Finnish team? In terms of defense, I’d say ‘Lokomotiv,'» Aymurzin told Sports.ru.

Since the 2023/2024 season, «Jokerit» has been competing in the second-tier league in Finland.
