Eli Ilves.comin varmat grillitietäjät heittää kehiin legendaa, jonka mukaan Jesse Niinimäki ois kohta Jookkerileirissä..
Vaikea uskoa narrien olevan edes kiinnostunut. Hankalan luonteen lisäksi pelitkään eivät ole sujuneet. Aika tiputus Santalaan verrattuna.

Ehkä sinne narrien kolmoseen sitten?
Which Road Runner player (24 yrs. and younger) was the
biggest disappointment?
Brownlee:
Jesse Niinimaki. As the old saying goes, "He likes everything about being a pro hockey player except the games and the practices." Didn't work hard enough to make the transition or stay in the lineup when he was given the chance. His talent is obvious, but his indifference and lack of work ethic was alarming. And, please, no excuses about the shoulder. It's his heart that's in question now.
Gregor:
Jesse Niinimaki. Needs to work harder plain and simple.
Flaming: Because my hopes were so high for him, I’ll say
Niinimaki too. He made it an easy decision for the coaches to keep him out of the lineup. Next year will either be a good one or his last one in North America.
Näin Niinimäestä Hockeys Futuressa.
