Jesper Peltonen (24) will follow in the footsteps of his father Ville and play for HC Lugano. The Finnish defender with a Swiss license will indeed leave Kloten for the Ticino club at the end of the season. He signed up for two years with the bianconeri.
Born in Helsinki, Jesper Peltonen, like his twin brother Aleksi, took his first playing license in Lugano when their father Ville Peltonen was wreaking havoc in opposition defences. In 2006, then captain of the team, he led the Luganese to their 7th and last league title.
