In a 15-year NHL career, Jyrki Lumme enjoyed considerable success on the blueline. Lumme, who played nine of his seasons with the Vancouver Canucks was often regarded as the team’s top defenceman and he would have four 40 Point seasons with the team. Lumme was never an All-Star, though he certainly could have been considered for one or two.

Internationally, Lumme represented Finland in the Olympics three times and participated in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. He would win a Silver Medal in the 1988 Games and a Bronze in 1998.
