In addition, Jokinen’s medal case includes two silvers and three bronzes at the World Championships. The forward won the gold medal at the 1998 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, and is a four-time Olympian, which includes a silver medal in 2006 and bronze medals in 20. However, many of his greatest successes came at the international stage, with various medals won with team Finland.

In his 17-year career, Jokinen dressed for the Florida Panthers, Los Angeles Kings, New York Islanders, Phoenix Coyotes, Calgary Flames, New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets, Nashville Predators, Toronto Maples and St. In that time he was one of the only bright spots for a struggling Panthers team, as the franchise did not qualify for the postseason while Jokinen was there. But in addition to being able to find the back of the net, he was a true leader for the Panthers, captaining the franchise from 2003 to 2008. Jokinen holds Florida’s all-time record in points (419), goals (188), game-winning goals (36), overtime goals (10), power-play points (153) and shots (1,837). Jokinen averaged 0.91 points per game as well.

He had more goals than Daniel Alfredsson, Martin St. From 2002 to 2008 the Kuopio, Finland native scored 173 goals, which ranked seventh in the league during that span.
