Hard capture! Kärpät acquired JYP’s goal torch

Reid Gardiner continues his career in Oulu.

Kärpät says on its website that it has signed a player contract with Reid Gardiner , which extends until spring 2026. The deal includes a foreign option.

The 28-year-old forward played 49 games in JYP last season with 24+25=49. He was the third best scorer in the SM league regular season.

• Three seasons in the League and more than 20 goals in each season says a lot about the player’s reliability. Reid wanted to go to Oulu to win the championship, and as a right-hander, he brings more variation to our special situation game, Kärppie’s sports director Mikko Myllykoski commented.

The man also praised the nature of the new acquisition.

• Reid convinced us in the interview with his professionalism, and we have also received the same message from the direction of Jyväskylä.
