Joni Ikonen speaks about his recovery and return to ice hockey

Joni Ikonen was injured in a training session at home in Finland at the end of May, and finally made his return to hockey last weekend.

This week, Ikonen got his first goal of the 2019 season - a fantastic effort where he took the puck from one end to the other. Ikonen describes the goal in his own words in the exclusive interview that Eyes On The Prize had with him on Sunday.

“They [Montreal] had a good contact with me during the whole process, and still are,” Ikonen said. Ikonen says he has felt the support from Montreal all though the recovery.
