Jennifer is thrilled to be able to play in Japan in order to start the season. Not only are two of her bandmates from Le Sserafim Japanese, but her agent Slavakov also played for the Japanese national team when he was in the SHL. She’s played concerts before in Tokyo and can’t wait to go back and show her fans her other passion in hockey. Jennifer also knows that Japan has potential to be a massive hockey market. There’s still one or two Japanese players that join the SHL every season, and Japanese hockey fans still reminisce about the back to back gold medals in Seasons 59 and 60. If anything, there’s more markets that the SHL should go visit. With so many SHL players being born outside of the USA and Canada, doing international games in places like Finland, Norway, or Jennifer’s new IIHF home Czechia is a prime opportunity for the SHL to really cement themselves as a global hockey brand.
