It was for the money, it cannot be denied. The money made me stay there.
That's what Teemu Pulkkinen says, who was the only Finnish player to stay in KHL after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, reports Yle.
Pulkkinen, now new in Kiekko-Vantaa in the Finnish second league, apologizes for the time in KHL where he represented five different clubs.
I want to apologize for the choices I made and I naturally take responsibility for them. It was my own choice to continue playing. I take responsibility for it and I am sorry for it.
Pulkkinen was part of the Finnish national team that in 2016 took World Championship silver.
