After winning two cups and playing over 1000 games with Texas Renegades over 17 seasons it is time for Björn Leppänen to hang up his skates. While his career was not one of personal glory, he did his part on great teams in both SHL and IIHF, ending up to career that was above any expectations for someone who started as an enforcer and got drafted very late in second round.

Whole thing was great experience and I want to thank everyone that was part of it, specially all the people who played with and for me in Texas.

And what a steal that was. Congratulations on the spectacular career!

Life has been busy but good. Now that Björn's chapter is closed I can take a breather (or more like continue the current one even further) and when I feel like I could enjoy the site again it is time for the next one, but who knows when that happens. Still have to say that it is indeed nice to see familiar names popping up and I hope you (and everyone else) have been doing well too.
