C-More announced Tuesday that the legendary Hockey Night is making a return to television programming.
The disc program shown on MTV3 in 1995-2005 and on Canal + in 2011-12 will be produced in a renewed version.
– We definitely wanted to take the familiar brand with us when the League returned to MTV’s channels. 2020’s Hockey Night Respects Traditions, but Now Gets a New Form, MTV Sports Program Manager Markus Autero opened the bulletin.
The presenters of the revamped Hockey Night broadcast are not yet in public. Previously, this position served as a sports journalist Mika Saukkonen as well as the legend of the Lions Timo Jutila.
We asked on Facebook when it became very popular Hockey living room in the group from fans that: which puck influencers should be chosen as the next presenters of Hockey Night?
In a Facebook group of nearly 22,000 puck fans, one clear option was selected as the new “orange jacket”. The biggest rake was the ex-pucker Ari Vallin, which received as many as 530 votes.
Vallin, who works as Telia’s expert, has fascinated the puck with his humorous and agile style. The 42-year-old from Ylöjärvi was also chosen as the most entertaining player in the series at the end of his league career.
The second most popular choice was Hockey Night legend Timo Jutila, who grabbed 261 votes.
The third highest number of votes went to the former League hockey player Pekka Saravo (76), while the fourth most popular was Viasat ‘s expert Ismo Lehkonen.
– A lot is good, but Vallin and Ika (Lehkonen) are involved, so then Puukangas and Nyholm can lead the studio, puck fan Marko Humminen line in the Hockey Living Room group.
– Vallin & Lehkonen combo ois kova, Juha Hakala says.
Some, on the other hand, relied on a familiar and safe pair of radars.
– Mika Saukkonen would be a very good studio host. That’s the friend Juti. For both, orange jackets are worn naturally, a puck fan Sami Kananen line.
