An Explosive Start for Jesse Ylonen

March 2, 2021 - Last year, a few days before the world of sports came to a holt, Jesse Ylönen had joined the Laval Rocket to start his acclimatization to the north American style of play. Sadly, he didn't have the chance to play his first game before the pause. He instead went back to Finland to play in La Liiga, which is their first division in professional hockey.
