After years of playing in the KHL, SHL, and EBEL, Lars Haugen is now heading home to Norway with Manglerud.
The 33-year-old goaltender originally started his career with Manglerud U19 back in 2003, and also played there on a loan during the 2010-2011 season.
Since then, Haugen has played for teams like Dynamo Minsk, Färjestad BK, and Klagenfurter AC. He has also represented Norway in eight World Championship tournaments and two Olympic Games.
This past season with Klagnefurter AC, the Oslo native recorded a 9.05 SVS% and a 2.22 GAA.
Say hello to our newest Finnish family member, Noa Vali.
Vali is a 2005-born goaltender currently playing in the TPS organization. He ended this past season with a .910 SVS% and a 3.33 GAA with their U16 team.
Vali has also played for Finland Selects U13 and U14.
We are very proud and happy to welcome Vali to the family and look forward to representing him!
