Haavanlammi honed his skills in Finland’s U20 Elite League, and he’s expected to give Tornado’s power play a big boost. With his creative play style, he’ll add a new dynamic to Tornado’s offensive strategies. [See his stats here]  

The third addition is *Thomas Le Chapelain*, a versatile 22-year-old player who can perform as both a defender and a forward. Originally from Bordeaux, Le Chapelain has gained experience in Amnéville and Châlons, making him well-acquainted with this level of competition. His adaptability will give Tornado valuable flexibility in their lineup. [See his stats here]
