Several sources have told Finnish news outlet Iltalehti that Mikko Koskinen will retire from professional hockey. There were some rumblings that he might mind the net for Kiekko-Espoo next season, but things have now supposedly changed.
The 35-year-old goaltender has been with HC Lugano since the 2022-23 season. When Lugano announced the signing of Joren van Pottelberghe in November 2023, they also disclosed that they would not extend a contract offer to Koskinen. This season, the Finn appeared in 28 regular-season games, posting a .900 save percentage.
