The Calgary Wranglers, American Hockey League affiliate of the Calgary Flames, are set to begin their second round playoff series on Friday against the Coachella Valley Firebirds, but will be doing so without a former Vancouver Canucks prospect.
On Tuesday, the Wranglers announced in a post on social media that they've released defenceman Joni Jurmo from his amateur try-out contract, likely ending his 2023-24 season.
The Espoo native spent the 2023-24 season in Liiga, which is Finland's highest division, with Ilves and KooKoo. In 46 games this season, Jurmo had five points (one goal, four assists), 14 penalty minutes and was a plus-three.
