Former Finnish ice hockey player Teemu Selanne stated that he had found a group of investors who are ready to purchase an ice arena where home games are held Jokerit.
The stadium, formerly known as Hartwall Arena, is owned by Gennady Timchenko, Arkady and Boris Rotenberg.
— Of course, due to the sanctions against Russia, it is completely impossible to acquire it at the moment, but yes, we have a group of people who are ready to do it. No more Russians,” Selanne Iltalehti quotes.
Jokerit has been playing in the KHL since 2014. The club from Helsinki decided to withdraw from the league in 2022 due to the situation in Ukraine. In April, Jokerit announced that they were planning to skip the season in order to enter the Finnish league in 2023.
