„Markuse sledujeme minimálně dvě sezony. V rámci možností na trhu jsme si ho vybrali pro jeho charakter, tvrdost v soubojích, odolnost a týmový přístup. Věříme, že právě v těchto směrech dodá našemu týmu potřebnou energii a posune ho dál,“ říká sportovní manažer Vervy Tomáš Vrábel.

„Přivádíme hráče, který má za sebou téměř sto zápasů v NHL a zkušenosti i ze silných evropských soutěží. Markus je komplexní útočník, který má jasně definovaný styl a zároveň přináší do týmu profesionální přístup a pracovní morálku,“ doplnil generální ředitel Pavel Hynek.

Hännikäinen během své kariéry působil čtyři sezony v NHL v Columbusu, vyzkoušel si i nejvyšší soutěže ve Finsku, Švédsku a Německu. Za Jokerit Helsinky si zahrál v KHL. V roce 2017 reprezentoval Finsko na mistrovství světa. V uplynulé sezoně odehrál za Mannheim 47 zápasů v základní části a připsal si 12 gólů a stejný počet asistencí.

„Jsem obousměrný útočník, kterého si na ledě všimnete především díky tvrdé práci. V každém střídání chci být vidět nejen pro své osobní statistiky, ale pro svůj přístup k týmu. Nejsem ‚nejblyštivější‘ hráč, ale snažím se být ten, kdo maká nejvíc a pomáhá spoluhráčům kolem sebe růst. To je to, co chci přinést,“ představuje se křídelní útočník.

Ještě před podpisem smlouvy mu osobně zavolala největší hvězda Litvínova Ondřej Kaše. „Byl to silný moment. Když vám volá takové jméno, jen aby vás přivítalo a řeklo, že vás v týmu chtějí – to není běžné. Cítil jsem z toho opravdový zájem, upřímnost. Takové gesto pro mě hodně znamenalo. Nebavili jsme se dlouho, ale to gesto, že se mi ozval, bylo obrovsky silné. Řekl mi, že tým hledá pracanty a že mě vítají. Vážím si toho,“ přiznává Hännikäinen.

Fin Litvínov hodně probíral i s odchovancem klubu Kristianem Reichlem, s nímž v minulé sezoně nastupoval v Mannheimu v jedné útočné formaci. „Bavili jsme se spolu o extralize, o týmu, o tom, jak to v Litvínově chodí. Vlastně i díky tomu jsem klub začal sledovat víc. Když pak znovu zazvonil telefon, všechno do sebe zapadlo. Bylo to správné načasování,“ pochvaluje si Hännikäinen.

„Když se podívám zpětně, tak jsem si kromě švýcarské ligy zahrál všechny nejlepší evropské soutěže. Teď chci poznat i tu českou. A v posledních pěti letech se podle mě extraliga opravdu zvedla. Z finského pohledu to vnímáme tak, že je otevřenější, silnější, víc mezinárodní. Dřív tu tolik Finů ani cizinců nebylo, dneska je to jinak,“ ví čerstvá posila Chemiků.

Ranking rookie QB performances from NFL preseason Week 3: Shedeur Sanders struggles, Dillon Gabriel shines

The NFL preseason is officially in the books, and we are just south of two weeks away from the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Dallas Cowboys to kick off the regular season on Sept. 4. Just because the season is now right in front of us, though, doesn't mean we can't look backward to what just happened. With that in mind, we're going to once again take a look at the rookie quarterbacks and what they did in Week 3 of the preseason. From No. 1 pick Cameron Ward to No. 231 Quinn Ewers, we're diving into what each of the 11 passers who played in Week 3 did with their opportunities. Even though it's just preseason and most of this stuff doesn't necessarily translate to the regular season, in the space below, we're going to highlight all of the […]

Najee Harris ‘on track’ for Week 1 after fireworks injury, Chargers hopeful RB plays against Chiefs

Imagn Images Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris may not miss time this season after his July 4 fireworks accident, which caused a superficial injury to his eye. Chargers staff members have been coy about his status for the season opener during his recovery, but general manager Joe Hortiz delivered Saturday a promising update that indicated Harris is trending toward making his team debut in Week 1.The update paints a clearer picture of Harris' timeline than coach Jim Harbaugh's most recent comments. The second-year Chargers headman said on Aug. 8 that "there's a chance" Harris will be ready to suit up for the opener against the reigning AFC champion and division rival Kansas City Chiefs."Najee's doing great, going through all the medical processes," Hortiz said during Saturday's preseason game. "But he's on track, and I think he should be […]

Jets trade Derrick Nnadi to Chiefs for draft picks: Veteran DT heads back to Kansas City

Getty Images The Kansas City Chiefs pounced on an opportunity to welcome back a fan favorite  and made it happen Sunday after acquiring Derrick Nnadi from the New York Jets in a trade that includes future NFL Draft picks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The move was possible for the Jets after they bolstered their defensive front with two recent additions — Jowon Briggs from the Cleveland Browns and Harrison Phillips from the Minnesota Vikings.Nnadi signed with New York in March as one of the NFL's most durable players at the position. He played in all 17 regular-season games each of the past four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and missed just one game over his entire seven-year tenure with the franchise previously. Given the depth of the Chiefs' defensive front, Nnadi saw his role reduced last season after playing a career-low […]

How to bet on the Jaguars in 2025: Super Bowl odds, win total, props, best bets, picks for Jacksonville

The Jacksonville Jaguars needed more impact talent on both sides of the ball when they entered the offseason. They may have killed two birds with one stone thanks to an aggressive move in the draft. Entering this year's draft with the fifth overall pick, Jacksonville moved up three spots to nab wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall. The plan appears to be for Hunter to focus on receiver at first while mixing in at cornerback. That gives Trevor Lawrence two young star-level receivers in Hunter and 2024 standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr.The offense will also look different in 2025 as the Jags have a new head coach and play-caller in Liam Coen, who was the Buccaneers last year. Coen left Tampa Bay for Jacksonville in dramatic fashion, according to reports, as he apparently agreed to an extension to be the highest-paid coordinator in the […]
