25 Year old Finnish winger Mikko Juusola was one of the clubs final signing announcements in the summer of 2023.

Jussola arrives from a spell with HC Energie Karlovy Vary in Czechia, however prior to that Mikko had never left his home country Finland.

Mikko played his junior (to U20) with Karpat before moving to Kalpa for a four year spell which saw him play for the Finnish national side at the U20 level.

In 2019 a move to the pro ranks came about in the Mestis league (2^nd division) with IPK before heading to Liiga (1^st division) with Saipa at the end of the 2021 season

In 2021-22 Juusola played a top 6 role with Saipa scoring 11 goals and 19 points in 46 games.

Last season was split between Liiga (with Sport) and his time in Czechia

“I’m as excited with this signing as any” said head coach Aaron Fox “he has proved he can score at the top level and I believe he can skate with anyone, his speed will be a huge asset to us this year”
