[edit] Playing career
Kapanen started his career in 1992 playing for KalPa in SM-liiga. He played in Finland until 2001 when he moved to Timrå IK in the Swedish elite league Elitserien. He stayed with Timrå for three seasons and had his best season in 2003-04 when he was recorded for eight shutouts and 2.21 GAA. From 2005 he returned to KalPa and has played for them since then. He has only played 63 matches the last two seasons due to several injuries.[2][3]
On January 22, 2007, Kapanen was loaned to HV71 in Elitserien for the remainder of the season 2006-07.[1] With only two games played for his new club, he inured his foot during a training session in the beginning of March, and will probably be out for the entire Elitserien 2006-07 playoff.[4]
