Peli-Karhujen kasvatti Pinja Leppänen pelaa kauden 2026-2027 Team Lemkemin riveissä. Kausi on Leppäselle kolmas Lahdessa.
Päävalmentaja Tom Cooman:
– Pinja was one of the first players I spoke about when I knew I was going to be the head coach. Her potential is huge, and I cannot wait to help her show everyone that she has what it takes to build a career at a higher level.
– What I love about Pinja is that she just wants to win. She is willing to do whatever is needed for the team and is someone you know will always show up and give everything she has.
– On the court, she will be one of our main scorers and creators. She is one of our go-to players when we need someone to create with the ball, make things happen, and take responsibility. I am really excited to see what she can do this season and to help her take the next step in her development.
Pinja Leppänen:
– Odottavaisilla fiiliksillä kauden alkuun. Koko kesä ollaan joukkueena treenattu kovaa ja hiottu omaa konseptia kuntoon. Innolla odotan pian alkavia pelejä ja sitä, että päästään yhdessä näyttämään, mihin pystytään.
