Legend retires

As many people had feared, veteran defender Janne Huokko, 35, has been forced to retire due to ongoing knee problems. As a modern legend in Leksand, having played no less than 522 games in Elitserien, 151 in Allsvenskan as well as international games, he will be thoroughly missed by hockey-lovers. With a solid CV (including a WC bronze in 1999), he still holds the all time Elitserien records of goals in a season for a defender (21) as well as most goals scored in a game by a defender (4) .

Thanks for everything and hope to see you around in Ejendals Arena.
