Helsingin Jokerit bolsters roster and partners with Messukeskus

Helsingin Jokerit is preparing for its return to the Liiga for the 2026–2027 season, focusing heavily on strengthening its offensive lineup. Key player acquisitions include Patrick Curry from KalPa, and Maxime Fortier and Antti Kalapudas from SaiPa. The roster also features returning player Markus Hännikäinen. While the offense has been bolstered with high-scoring talent, the team's defensive reinforcements remain less prominent.

In a separate business development, Messukeskus and Jokerit have entered a partnership agreement. The collaboration aims to enhance experiences for event and match attendees while driving business growth in the Pasila district. The partnership will be active during the autumn 2026 and spring 2027 seasons, integrating Jokerit into various Messukeskus events.
