CanucksArmyn artikkelissa käydään läpi myös Jurmon ajatuksia. Pennasen vaikutus pelaajien rekrytointiin näyttää olevan kovaa luokkaa, kun se on kerran Jurmonkin kohdalla ollut pääsyynä Ilveksen valintaan. Odotuksissa on myös 20 minuutin peliaika eli taistelu auringosta pakkien kesken tulee olemaan kovaa:
"We caught up with Joni Jurmo and asked him about his goals for next season. He has a one-year deal with the Liiga powerhouse Ilves and said that he is going there because he will have the same coach that he had for the 2022 World Juniors and that the coach wanted him to come to play with Ilves. Jurmo also mentioned that he is looking forward to the challenge of playing on a bigger and better Liiga team.
“Ilves is a bigger, more challenging place to play,” said Jurmo. “I have to battle for my ice time and I feel like that’s what I need right now in my in my career.”
Jurmo mentioned that his coach is looking to lean on Jurmo’s biggest strength, which is his ability to skate with the puck on his stick. It will be interesting to follow Jurmo’s season because in our years of watching him as a teenager, the best he has looked was when he played in the World Juniors.
We asked Jurmo what he is looking to accomplish in what he hopes is his last year in Finland.
“I want to improve on all aspects,” said Jurmo. “My ice time was almost there, I need to be closer to 20 minutes and at Ilves, I need it to be close to 20 minutes [a night]. I think the points will come because it’s such a good offensive team. I have a plan that I’m going play one more year in Liiga and then my plan is to come over here so that’s what I’m aiming for.”
We followed up and asked if he would be willing to play in the AHL.
“Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be unreal,” said Jurmo."
