Ilves has loaned defenseman Karri Aho, 20, to HPK. The loan contract runs until 4th of November but, if necessary, Ilves has the chance to call Aho back before the end of the deal.
Karri Aho has played six games in the Finnish league (Liiga) and two games in the Champions Hockey League this season. The defenseman registered one assist in the CHL.
– The health situation in our defense is excellent at the moment. This loan deal serves well the interests of the player and both teams, says Ilves sports director Timo Koskela.
