Jakob Hellsten, den 26-årige målvakten som anslöt till Modo Hockey i mitten av februari, har skrivit på en kontraktsförlängning på två år med klubben. Han kommer att fortsätta bilda målvaktspar med Adam Werner. Avtalet kommer kort efter Modos förlust i semifinalen i slutspelet mot BIK Karlskoga.

Jakob Hellsten anlände till Modo från Leksand i mitten av februari och satte snabbt avtryck, bland annat med två hållna nollor under slutspelet. Trots lagets förlust i semifinalen mot BIK Karlskoga uttryckte Hellsten stor entusiasm över att stanna i Örnsköldsvik. 'Jag var väldigt sugen på att stanna', sa Hellsten.
