“The Easiest Decision I Have Ever Made” says Mikko
“It was the easiest decision to come back, I didn’t have to think twice” the words of Mikko Juusola who today became the latest Grand Slam Steeler to confirm his return next season.
“I didn’t have to think at all, I just spoke with Foxy and then my agent and told them to get it done, it was very simple and I am very happy to be coming back” Juusola continued.
“Winning games is always fun and we just kept winning, first games and then trophies. That first win against Guildford in the Cup Final was incredible, to do it at home in front of our crazy fans was maybe the most special moment
“Saying that the Final Four play offs was cool, having nine other teams wanting you to lose and all their fans against you was fun, our fans are the best and I think they prefer it that way, I certainly do. I like it”
On playing in the Champions Hockey League Mikko said “an added bonus in coming back, to play against these huge clubs. I can’t wait to see how we get on, I think we will surprise a few people”
Head coach Aaron Fox commented “Mikko was a very important piece of the puzzle last season.
“He came in a made a huge first impression from the first time he stepped on the ice. The pace he played with and the ability to fit in anywhere in our top 9 was huge in our group.
“Mikko’s speed is elite and think his wall play makes him very hard to defend especially on the cycle. He’s Very reliable player defensively and was good on the PK. It’s great to be able to keep him in orange and expect him to build off last season’s numbers”.
