Another big day in the Sheffield Steeldogs summer with the confirmation of import forward Elmeri Hällfors
Hällfors was an import in Italy last season with Unterland, scoring 11 goals and 31 points.
Recommended to the Steeldogs by former Steeler Niklas Nevalainen the 22 year old from Vassa, Finland is known to be a dynamic player who skates really well
“In keeping with our vision for the style of play we wish to implement this season, bringing in a player of Elmeri’s skillset and flair were absolute must have qualities” said head coach Ben Morgan
“We’re all eager to see Elmeri take to the ice with his new teammates and begin to develop line chemistry which we’re sure will excite our fans.
“We extend a big Sheffield welcome to Elmeri as another new face joins our new look side for 2024/25”.
Speaking from his home in Finland Hällfors said I am really excited to get to Sheffield to get things started and to meet with everyone.
“Have been talking with Nevalainen a lot and haven’t heard anything but good about the people, city and hockey there. Can’t wait to get back on the ice and get dressed in orange”.
