Finnish Native to Join Clarkson
With the start of the 2010 portion of the schedule, the Clarkson
University Hockey team will welcome a new player to the Golden
Knights’ program. Head coach George Roll has announced the
addition of Martii Piispanen to the roster. A 5-10, 183-pound
forward, Piispanen (5/29/89) was the leading scorer for the Espoo
Blues Junior A team in Finland.
“Martii will provide an offensive dimension to our
lineup,” stated Roll. “He is a highly-skilled player
with good speed and playmaking ability. We have struggled to score
goals this season, but we will look to Martii to provide a boost
for us in that area.”
Piispanen, a left-handed shot, is expected to play for the Green
and Gold in the Dodge Holiday Classic in Minneapolis, MN on January
2-3.
