TPS has three goalies, Daniel Leggio, Atte Engren and Ortio. Ortio has played just one pre-season game which Jokerit won 3-2. According to his coach Ortio played well and cannot be blaimed for loss. Beginning of the season is still two weeks away but right now it seems that TPS is going with tandem Leggio and Engren. There has been no news or speculation where Ortio will be placed (juniors or Mestis) to wait for call-up in case of injuries.
Yes, he has military service to serve and in older article he mentions finishing school.
