The development of Roni Hirvonen has been fairly shaky so far, to say the least. The 24-year-old Finnish forward has had a bit of injury issues, most notably the one that occurred during a development camp in July of 2023, which had him out with a concussion after taking a hard hit from Nolan Dillingham, a camp invitee.
Later that year, on Oct. 15, he sustained another injury, one that could've seen him hang up the skates for good, when he took a stick to the eye in an AHL game against the Utica Comets, when he served time with the Toronto Marlies.
