Career

Markus Granlund began his career as an ice hockey player in his hometown in the youth department of Kiekko-Laser , where he was active until 2008. From there he moved to the juniors of the city neighbor Oulun Kärpät for a year before he joined the capital club Helsingfors IFK . For the professional team of HIFK he made his debut in the SM-liiga in the 2010/11 season , where he remained unpunished in two games. He was also a loan player in six games for the Finnish U20 national team in the Mestis , the second Finnish division, on the ice, scoring three goals and three assists each.

He was then selected first in the KHL Junior Draft in the first round as the 24th player from Salawat Yulayev Ufa and finally in the NHL Entry Draft in the second round as the 45th player from the Calgary Flames .

In April 2013 Granlund received an NHL entry contract from the Flames and was used by them from the beginning of the 2013/14 season at the Abbotsford Heat in the American Hockey League (AHL). In February 2014, he made his debut for the Flames in the NHL. From then on, Granlund was constantly changing between AHL and NHL, before he was given to the Vancouver Canucks in February 2016 in exchange for Hunter Shinkaruk .

In early July 2019, he signed a one-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers as a free agent . After the contract expired, the Finn moved back to Europe and joined Salawat Julajew Ufa from the Continental Hockey League (KHL).

International

For Finland , Granlund took part in the U18 Junior World Championships in 2010 and 2011 . At the U18 World Cup in 2010 he won the bronze medal with his team, and at the tournament a year later he was team captain.

During the 2015/16 season he made his debut in the senior national team of his country of birth.
