Tim Campbell: „I decided to join this club because I have only heard positive things about the team. From top to bottom management and to the players I heard nothing but positives. Playing against this team last year I was able to notice how hard they worked and thought that their style of play was very intriguing. Yes, I spoke with both Viktor and Hannu prior to signing and liked what I had heard. There is a true belief and commitment to winning and building a positive culture from both of them and made my decision much easier. To play against the team as an opponent was definitely not easy. I mean it is no secret that the fans are known to be very loud and very passionate towards the team. Coming into the building was a tough task at times with the fans creating momentum for the home team. Obviously with having experience in the league and knowing how competitive it is I think my goals for the season are finishing in the top-6 and qualifying for the playoffs. I think once you get into the playoffs then anything can happen and all teams are ready to take it to the next level. I will try my best."
