Convicted Felon Attempts to Appeal Sentence to Sign in Slovakia

A convicted felon who once had a promising career in hockey is attempting to return to the sport by appealing his sentence to allow him to play in Slovakia.

A recent report from Hockey News Hub, one of the top sources for international hockey news, on X.com revealed that the controversial Severi Lahtinen is attempting to return to hockey.

Lahtinen began this season with JYP of the Finnish LIIGA with the hope of continuing to grow as a player. However, he was limited to only 8 games before he got into legal trouble.

Lahtinen's new team, Liptovsky Mikulas, has a history of bringing in controversial players that no other team would take on. They last made headlines when they brought Mitchell Miller in.

An official announcement is now being anticipated and when it is officially announced, there will almost certainly be backlash.
