There is enough puzzle in the Lahti Pelicans in the trough and the office – the club boss appeal to: \”We really need help\”

In terms of league investment and audience in the audience of the home matches, the Lahti team can be found at the tail end of the series. Economic pressures begin to accumulate when success has not been achieved.

Pelicans, who has assembled a hockey league team this season, feels their household pressures are growing.

– Everyone understands that it does not make the economy easier. This is also measured by what the community’s trust is towards us. Now is the time that we too need the help of the (audience) help.

The cash situation in the cashier has varied, which has also been reflected in the payment of invoices. On Monday, Lahden Pelicans Oy, according to the Intrum Credit Register, had a total of approximately EUR 18,000 for rent and travel agency.

– When income -funded, the cash sometimes poses challenges. We have always paid each payment.

According to Pöyhönen, the delayed travel agency fees of around € 15,000 have already been paid. He implies that hotel bills come from the hockey champions league accommodation.

The previous two silver medal teams Pelicans have also built their economy on and invested in growth.

– We are not in the league but to succeed. When there are cyclical fluctuations, they have to endure and think about how we continue, Pöyhönen says.

Purchase or sales pants as needed

– We have a high quality group that has not got the potential that should be out of. There is still a lot of work done on it.

Some Lahti supporters have found a problem with the large number of foreign players.

– If there were more domestic high quality players, they would certainly try to get them here. If you think about Finnish players, then the attraction is abroad and there are many players there, Laukkanen estimates.

According to Laukkanen, there is not much available in the player market at the moment, even though the club is thinking about the player.

12 teams are accessible to the playoffs, and the Pelicans are not giving up or considering giving up expensive players, for example.

The so -called drainage is also contributing to the fact that the last team in the league has to cut out of their place with the winner of the Mestis.

– We work to turn this ship to the right address and invest in it. If there are opportunities for player trading to improve the team, then we will consider them, says sports director Janne Laukkanen.

Peaceful in the head coach market?

According to CEO Lauri Pöyhönen, there is hardly any miracle maker in the coach market.

– That team has traveled a long way together. If it finds the thing that really is, then one can go really far.
