Highlights
1-time Liiga Champion 1
1-time Liiga Rookie of the Year 1

Smooth-skating Rantakari is very talented offensive defenseman who likes to join the rush. A powerplay specialist, he possesses a really good and accurate shot. Not a very physical player, though. Could improve his defensive game a bit, too.
(EP 2015)

Father: Osmo Rantakari
