Teemu Selanne's son, Leevi, striked with horrible news
Leevi Selanne, son of Finnish hockey legend Teemu Selanne, is now a free agent after his contract was terminated on Friday.
Hokki Kajaani, a team in the second tier of Finnish hockey (Mestis), announced on Facebook that they have terminated Leevi Selanne's contract for the 2024-25 season, making him a free agent in Europe.
"The player agreement between Leevi Selanne and Kajaani Hockey has been terminated in agreement for the 2024-2025 season. The option for the next season, that was in Atte Peltonen's contract, was also not used. We want to thank Leevi and Atte for their time in Kajaani and wish them all the best for the future! 🤝
Our own parents Samppa Kemppainen and Noa Tuomainen will also represent Hockey in the 2024-2025 season according to their agreements."
Hokki Kajaani was Leevi Selanne's first professional club after finishing a two-year stint at Curry College in the United States. In 23 games for Hokki Kajaani last season, Selanne had four points (two goals, two assists), 24 penalty minutes, and an even rating. He also played in three games during the relegation round but didn't record any points.
Transitioning from a Division 3 NCAA school to the second tier of professional hockey in Finland was challenging for Selanne. Living up to the Selanne name is tough given his father's achievements in the NHL and internationally, but Leevi is determined to make his own mark. Now, he will seek a fresh start with a new club.
