Jyrki Holopainen temporarily back with SPV

Swiss COVID-19 floorball shutdown brings Jyrki Holopainen temporarily back to Finland to play for SPV in F-liiga. The 33-year old defenseman left SPV this summer to represent Floorball Köniz.

“It feels both great and sad at the same time”, Jyrki Holopainen says. “It’s great to be back with my girlfriend and my family and to join my old teammates but it is also too bad about the situation in Switzerland. I have had a great time there and I have felt welcome by the players. I hope playing in Switzerland will be able to continue as soon as possible and we can show our potential.”

Jyrki Holopainen will be eligible to play in tonight’s F-liiga game against Nokian KrP’ SPV says.

Last night, SPV advanced to Finnish Cup quarter-finals beating Koovee 8-6 away.
