In season 2006/07 Jokerit signed goaltender Juuso Riksman as its number 1, with Hallikainen fighting out the back up spot with youngster Niko Hovinen.
When Tom Draper was hired as HIFK's starting goaltender, Riksman signed with MoDo Hockey in Sweden, and after two seasons in Sweden, a year in Italy with Alleghe HC and one season with Ilves, he led Ässät to a silver medal in 2006 and won the Urpo Ylönen trophy as the league's best goaltender.
