Leafs' Berg signs with Finnish club
A full-time job on the Maple Leafs blue line officially became open yesterday.
Aki Berg held true to his desire to raise his children in his native Finland, as his hometown club, Turku TPS of the Finnish Elite League, announced it has signed the 28-year-old defenceman.
'As he had said, this was not for monetary reasons, but for culture and family reasons'. Not exactly a fan favourite during his time in Toronto, Berg never lived up to the expectations placed at his feet after he was selected third overall by the Los Angeles Kings in 1995.
