Tarmo Reunanen, captain of the Finnish SM-liiga team Turun Palloseura (TPS), has been loaned to the Swiss team HC Ajoie for the remainder of the season. This move comes after Reunanen has not played in the SM-liiga since February 7 due to a reported incident during team practices involving him and teammate Aatos Koivu. The team had been looking for a solution, as Reunanen's contributions were not meeting expectations according to the club's management.

The details surrounding Reunanen's struggles with the team were discussed in a statement from TPS which emphasized that after a strong start to the season, his role had not developed in a desired manner, leading to challenges for both the player and the club. The management highlighted the necessity for a change, noting that this move would benefit both parties and allow Reunanen a chance to continue playing in a high-level European league.

As the season progresses, such loans can be pivotal for players aiming to rediscover form and for clubs wanting to maintain a harmonious team environment. This decision not only impacts Reunanen’s career but also affects team dynamics as TPS continues in the league. The club expressed well wishes for Reunanen as he embarks on this new chapter in Switzerland, hoping this opportunity will prove beneficial for his future.
