Atte Petteri Ohtamaa (born 6 November 1987) is a Finnish professional ice hockey defenceman for Oulun Kärpät of the Liiga.
Playing career
Ohtamaa's youth team was Nivala Cowboys before he transferred to Oulun Kärpät at the Junior B level.
In 2018, Ohtamaa returned to Liiga after four seasons in the KHL. He signed a five-year contract with Oulun Kärpät. The contract included clauses to play two seasons abroad.[1][2]
Ohtamaa excerised the first clause-year of his option for the 2019–20 season. On 27 August 2019, Ohtamaa joined HC Lugano of the National League (NL) on a two-month contract until 3 November 2019. He was brought in as their fifth import player in case of injuries.[3] Ohtamaa played 17 games with Lugano (3 points) before being released on 2 November 2019. He was then loaned to Kazakh-based KHL club, Barys Nur-Sultan, for the remainder of the season.
He used the second clause-year in the following season, and on 1 May 2020, Ohtamaa opted to continue in the KHL, securing a one-year contract with Russian club Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.[4] Ohtamaa returned to Kärpät for the 2021–22 Liiga season in accordance to his ongoing contract.[5] He was named the captain of the team.[6]
Ohtamaa signed a one-year extension with Kärpät for the 2023–24 season,[7] and again for the 2024–25 season.[8]
