Lahti Basketball Junioreiden kasvatit Minttu Lohko ja Aino-Kaisa Hyvönen pelaavat kauden 2026-2027 Team Lemkemin riveissä. Kausi on heille molemmille kolmas naisten 1. divisioonassa.
Päävalmentaja Tom Cooman:
– Minttu and I have been working together for a couple of seasons now, and what I have seen from her this summer can only make me happy as a coach.
– She has left behind some of her young player identity and is slowly growing into an adult player with an adult mindset. She has already shown in the test games that she has been working on her scoring ability.
– This is the season where she can make the breakthrough into becoming a full rotation player for the team. If she can keep the hard work and positive mindset going, I am really excited to see where she can take it.
Minttu Lohko:
– Odottavaisin fiiliksin kohti alkavaa kautta. Tälle kaudelle jäätiin B-lohkoon ja lähdetään uusien konseptien ja uudistuneen joukkueen kanssa nostamaan joukkue takaisin A-lohkoon.
Päävalmentaja Tom Cooman:
– Aikku is probably one of the fastest athletes in the league. When she decides to go full speed, there are very few players who can stop her.
– Now we need to find her game consistently, because when she does, she can undeniably change the momentum of a game. I am really looking forward to seeing her bring to the court what I have been seeing from her for years in the youth.
Aino-Kaisa Hyvönen:
– Hyvillä fiiliksillä kohti tulevaa kautta! Odotan mielenkiinnolla uusia haasteita ja, miten pääsen tekemään töitä kehittyäkseen. Katsotaan mitä kaikkea joukkueena tällä kertaa keksimme!
