Former Union star forward and recent graduate 'Super' Mario Valery-Trabucco has signed with TPS of Finnish SM-Iiiga league. TPS, which is short for Turun Palloseura, won the league championship last season. Some famous TPS alumni include Calgary Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff, Anaheim Ducks forward Saku Koivu, and Jere Lehtinen who played for the Dallas Stars last season. After finishing off a record breaking senior year, Mario played a few games for the Adirondack Phantoms 0f the AHL. Hopefully, Mario is very successful in Finland and is able to work his way back to the states to play in the AHL, and maybe (and that's a big maybe) make a few appearances in the NHL. Valery-Trabucco is just one of many former Union players who will be playing in Europe next season (Walters, Schreiber, Fox, Beynon...)For more check out ECAC Hockey.com and the TPS Website (if you can speak Finnish!).
