Lite info om Hyvönen från två finska killar, Laituri och Big Me på HF.
Laituri: "Hyvönen is tough, mean and fairly strong. Other than those things and his extremely powerful slapshot, he's very average. He'll score 0.3-0.7 points per game depending on his role.
In the spring season of '01 he even played successfully as a defenseman in HIFK. Normally he plays right wing, though."
Big Me: "Hannes is a gritty winger who plays very physical game as a finn. To be a physical player he is also quite skilled and has very good shot. He is very versatile player, in SM-liiga he has played in almost every spot (winger, center and also as a defenceman). His main weakness is that he sometimes has problems controlling himself and he takes stupid penalties. However he has learnt to control himself better past couple of years.
Hannes Hyvönen stats in SM-liiga:
- 257 games played - 71 goals - 53 assists - 483 penalty minutes
SM-liiga playoff stats:
