Six weeks ago the SHL season started but for 19 year-old Adam Edström it didn’t go as expected. That’s because he hit Jarno Kärki high and hard like a freight train early in the first period. That sent the 6’6″ 212 lbs monster forward to the showers for the game.
After the game, the league suspended Edström for around 5 games. They deemed the hit too high speed, and leading with his left arm which had a high risk of injury. We caught up with Adam to talk about the hit and if the suspension will impact his game going forward.
