Joonas Kemppainen (born April 7, 1988) is a Finnish professional ice hockey forward who currently plays for HC Sibir Novosibirsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Playing career
Undrafted, Kemppainen played nine seasons in the Finnish Liiga with Ässät, HPK and Oulun Kärpät.[1] After his second consecutive season of 30 plus points with Kärpät in the 2014–15 season, on May 21, 2015, Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney announced that the club had signed Kemppainen to a one-year, two-way NHL contract for the 2015–16 season.[2]
Kemppainen competed in the 2015 IIHF World Championships, finishing third on Team Finland in scoring in his debut senior tournament. He picked up his first NHL assist and scored his first NHL goal on October 23, 2015, against Jaroslav Halák of the New York Islanders in a 5-3 Bruins victory.
Less than a year after coming to the United States, Kemppainen signed a deal with KHL hockey club Sibir Novosibirsk on May 14, 2016.[3]
