In 2024, following a conviction for rape committed as a minor, the Flames renounced their signing rights to Rönni, and his contract with Tappara was terminated.[1][2]
The Calgary Flames drafted Rönni in the second round, 59th overall in the 2022 NHL entry draft. He missed most of the 2022–23 season due to a knee injury and illness.[3] He appeared in 22 regular season matches for Tappara in the SM-liiga, totaling five points. Tappara won the Finnish championship, but Rönni didn't play a match in the playoffs.[4] In the Champions Hockey League (CHL), Rönni played five matches and scored one assist, and Tappara won the CHL championship.[5] Rönni signed a two-year contract extension with the club in May 2023.[6]
In October 2023, Rönni took a leave of absence from the team following criminal charges related to a rape allegation.[7] Following his conviction in March 2024, his signing rights were renounced by the Flames and his SM-liiga contract was terminated by Tappara.[8][1]
In June 2024, HK Dukla Michalovce of the Slovak Extraliga announced that they had signed Rönni to a one-year contract.[9]
In his youth, Rönni was also involved in athletics with Tampereen Pyrintö, where he won silver in the Finnish discus throw championship competition as a 14-year old.[10]
Rönni was charged with rape in the Helsinki District Court in October 2023 for an incident that occurred in 2021, when he was a minor.[7][1][11] In March 2024, he received a one-year suspended sentence for rape committed as a young person.[12]
