To save others a bunch of Googling:

-Late blooming Finnish goalie for Swift Current Broncos (21 year old)
-6'0 180lbs
-30-23-2-4, 2.39 GAA, .922 sv% last year (1st year playing in North America).
-Regular season stats have regressed a bit this year but playoff stats took a big jump(2.17 GAA, .941 sv% vs 2.89 GAA, .906 sv% last year)

-Athletic and acrobatic, more butterfly than standup
-Reads the play very well, has good positioning/angles

Could be a good backup for Ortio in the AHL perhaps?
