Clan get their Goalie

At long last Braehead Clan get their goalie and as anticipated it was not Szuper...
From the official Clan website...........

"33 year old Fin, Jaakko Elias Suomalainen joins the Clan having played last season with HK Jesenice in Austria. Jaakko is no stranger to Glasgow, having played for the Paisley Pirates back in 2001/2002 in the BNL. He played 17 games for the Pirates before returning to Finland to finish the season in the Finland 3 league with Karhu Kissat. Jaakko has played in some of the top European leagues such as the Finland 3 and Finland 2 as well as the SM-Liiga.
The 5’11 190lbs puck stopper is looking forward to returning to the Glasgow area and playing out of Braehead Arena....."

I have to admit when I read that I did wonder about the quality of the signing but, having read Jaakko's stats, I'm pretty darned pleased to say he looks like a real step up in class from JFP!

Now a good quality import as a forward and two Brits and we're set for the new season!
