Antti-Jussi Miettinen (born March 30, 1983 in Kangasala , Finland ) is a Finnish - German ice hockey player who has been under contract with ECDC Memmingen since 2014 .

Career

Miettinen first played for his hometown club Ilves Tampere in the Finnish SM junior liiga. The left shooter immediately drew attention to himself and then ran for Tamperes professional team. For the 2002/03 season he joined the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the Canadian Junior Western Hockey League . There he stayed only one season and played 54 games in which he scored 35 points scorer. Then he moved back to his home to the Ilves Tampere.

In the following two years he played mostly in the highest Finnish league, the SM-liiga . During the 2004/05 season he joined the KooKoo Kouvola , with whom he played in the Finnish second division, the Mestis . In the summer of 2005, Miettinen decided to move abroad. The Ratinger Ice Aliens from the Oberliga were able to convince him of a commitment in Germany and initially provided him with a one-year contract. With 51 scorer points in 45 games, he was an important pillar in the offensive game of the Rhinelander. In Ratingen he was one of the crowd favorites alongside his Finnish compatriot Janne Kujala .

In the middle of the 2006/2007 season Antti-Jussi Miettinen was again forced to change clubs because the Ice Aliens had to file for bankruptcy. What followed was a short guest appearance at EHC Waldkraiburg , which he will remember negatively. The trained striker suffered a bad knee injury and only played nine league games. His insurance company at the time then refused to cover the treatment costs. EHC Waldkraiburg was also unable to pay its salary. According to his own statements, the then 24-year-old got into a situation that he “would never want to experience again”.

Finally he tried a new start in the Regionalliga NRW with the Dortmund Elchen. There he made his breakthrough immediately and became the top scorer in the league. As an important part of the team, he played a major role in the success of the team, which, among other things, advanced to the play-off final because of his important goals and assists. In a total of 39 games this season, he scored 121 points scorer (46 goals, 75 assists). At the end of the 2008/09 season , Miettinen rose to the top league with the EHC. His contract, which expired at the end of the season, was not extended. So he left the club after two years and joined the fourth division club Moskitos Essen , with whom he played in his second year in the league. For the 2011/12 season he was committed by the then regional league club Herner EV . He has been on the ice for the Bayern division ECDC Memmingen Indians since the 2014/2015 season .
