Career

Hannu Järvenpää began his career as an ice hockey player at Kärpät Oulu , for whose professional team he was active in the SM-liiga from 1981 to 1986 . In the 1983/84 season he also ran in four games for the Finnish Olympic team, which took part in preparation for the Olympic Games in the SM-liiga, but did not make it into the Olympic squad. In the 1982 NHL Entry Draft , the winger was selected by the Canadiens de Montréal in the seventh round as the 145th player . Since this then did not take him under contract, the Winnipeg Jets were able to select the Finn in the NHL Entry Draft 1986 in the fourth round as a total of 71 players. He then played for three years for Winnipeg in the National Hockey League and during this period came nine times for their farm team , the Moncton Hawks , in the American Hockey League . In his rookie year , the 1986/87 season , he could only play 20 games because he suffered a serious knee injury in a duel with Craig Muni of the Edmonton Oilers .

In the summer of 1989 Järvenpää returned to Finland, where he signed a contract with Lukko Rauma in the SM-liiga. After two years he left the team and was on the ice for Leksands IF in the Swedish Elitserien for a year . From 1993 to 1995 he played again for Kiekko-Espoo in the SM-liiga before ending his active career at the age of 32. In his last season he was the only time in his career team captain.

Between 2003 and 2006, the 1992 Olympian worked as an assistant coach for Saimaan Pallo and the Pelicans Lahti in the SM-liiga. At the U18 Junior C World Championship in 2008 he was a full-time coach for the U18 team in Estonia .

From the 2009/10 season he was head coach at the Slovenian club HDD Olimpija Ljubljana from the Austrian ice hockey league , when he replaced the Canadian Danny Gelinas there in November 2009 . In 2012 he left the club again and was obliged by league competitor EC VSV . Due to a series of defeats at the beginning of the 2015/16 season, the VSV management responded on November 5, 2015 by dismissing Järvenpää.

In January 2016 he was signed by the EBEL Club Alba Volán Székesfehérvár as the new head coach, replacing Rob Pallin . Järvenpää looked after the team until the end of the season and then took over the position of head coach at the German second division Lausitzer Füchse from May 2016 . In the 2016/17 season he was named "Trainer of the Year" in the DEL2 . In November 2017 he resigned from his position at the Füchsen after a series of defeats. A few hours later he was introduced by Alba Volán Székesfehérvár as the new head coach. More than two years later, in January 2020, he was fired by Fehérvár and replaced by his assistant Antti Karhula . For the 2020/21 season he took over the post of head coach at EC Bad Nauheim from the DEL2.
