As he tells Ilta-Sanomat that does, however, not mean that he has entirely defeated cancer. Checks will be carried out all three months and only if he stays in complete remission for five years, doctors may say that he is cured or cancer-free.
Antti Törmänen also talked about his future with EHC Biel in his interview with the Finnish news outlet. His contract with the Seelanders expires after this season. As he states, a return to the bench is at the earliest possible in the 2021-22 season, but the club already knew that.
Törmänen was diagnosed with cancer this past July. He underwent major surgery and had to have cancer treatments for six months. Lars Leuenberger took over Törmänen's coaching duties for the 2020-21 season.
