On Tuesday, December 13, HC Lugano (Switzerland) announced the termination of the contract with the former Avangard defender Oliver Kaski. He moved there this summer. Casca’s contract with the Swiss was concluded until the end of the 2023/24 season.

Lugano thanks Oliver for his professionalism and wishes him all the best for the future.”

In Lugano, the player played in 20 meetings, where he gave four assists with a utility indicator of “-8”. This means that in the moments when he was on the ice, in total, his link conceded 8 more goals than scored. With such statistics, parting with a defender is not surprising in general.

Kaski played 47 regular season games with the Hawks last season. And he scored 33 points (13 + 20) in the “goal + pass” system.

In March of this year, right during the playoffs, he, like his countryman and colleague in the role Ville Pokka, left the clubwithout finishing the contract. The decision was clearly made for political reasons. And, as they said, under furious behind-the-scenes pressure from Finnish sports officialswho fell into a rage of Russophobia. After this, already in the summer, the leadership of Avangard statedthat the Finns-players will definitely never be contacted again.
