A statement from Kyle Turris appeared on Karpat Oulu's website on Wednesday to clarify why he left the team. A story from the Globe and Mail had comments from Turris discussing issues he had with his time in Finland, but the Ottawa forward denied those remarks and was upset with the negative tone of the piece. "I read an article in the Globe and Mail today regarding my experience in Oulu. It made me extremely upset that it was so negative, and that it had very inaccurate and untrue information," he said. "I really enjoyed my time in Oulu, and those who are around me know that. I want to make clear that the sole reason I left is because of personal reasons that required me to be home with my family." He went on to thank the organization as well.
