Jukka has been coaching goalies for quite some time now as you can see from the list below. During those years he has created numerous new coaching methods and helped goalies to achieve their goals all the way up to NHL careers. Some of the best achievements as coach include 3 European championship titles including the first ever Champions Hockey League win, 2 Finnish championship titles, one Swiss National League title and first European Victoria Cup win.
Now Jukka is in charge of GoaliePro's development work and also participates in clinics and events as his time allows. Despite the fact that his "fastest years" are behind him Jukka still plays veteran hockey and dons the pads when ever possible.
