Oskari Korpikari Returns To Florida JR Line Up

FLORIDA-

Its been a long road back for Oskari Korpikari. It was in game one of the season the Oskari suffered a fractured forearm that had him considering retiring.

The 21 year old will return to the line up for his second game of the season when the Florida jrs play the Los Angeles Jrs in Los Angeles in day 46.

"I am excited to be back." Korpikari said after the teams morning skate. "I have been out for a long time so it will take me a bit to get my legs and rhythm back. Its been fun for me to be able to practice with my team mates again. I feel fortunate to have another chance to play and try and make it to the pro level. I know exactly what Rolly (Alexandre Rouleau) is going through and will be there for him at any time. It is difficult to be out so long and not being able to contribute or practice with the guys. Its a real good feeling to be back."

The Florida JRs were riddled with injuries at the beginning of the season. The only injury now is Alexandres and he will be out till around the 50 game mark before he returns.
