Today, unfortunate news has surfaced for Teemu Selanne and his son Leevi, concerning the future of Leevi's professional hockey career.
Teemu Selanne is one of the legends in hockey history. Given his legacy, it's no surprise that his son, Leevi Selanne, has chosen to follow in his footsteps. Leevi grew up in the United States, honing his skills in youth hockey with the Texas Brahmas in the NAHL. His hard work paid off, eventually earning him a spot on the NCAA Division III Curry College hockey roster.
We're kicking off the week by introducing F Leevi Selanne, younger brother of current Colonel Eetu. Leevi joins us from the Texas Jr. Brahmas of the NA3HL (@TXBrahmas @NA3HL). We look forward to having two Selanne's on campus soon! #NewColonels
After spending two seasons with Curry College, Leevi Selanne turned professional this season by signing with Hokki Kajaani in the Finnish Mestis for the 2023-24 season. This appeared to be the beginning of a promising career for him. However, after just one season with Hokki Kajaani, he has been released.
