About Aleksi Heimosalmi

Aleksi Heimosalmi is a defenseman for the Carolina Hurricanes, wearing jersey number 47 as he builds his professional career in the NHL. Born on May 8, 2003, in Pori, Finland, Heimosalmi represents the next generation of elite Finnish blue liners making their mark in North America's premier hockey league. Standing 5'11" and weighing 170 pounds, he brings agility and skating ability to his defensive game, using his mobility to compensate for his lean frame against bigger opponents. Heimosalmi developed through the Finnish hockey system rather than the traditional North American college route, honing his skills in one of Europe's most respected player development environments.
