Harri Ilvonen (born 11 November 1988) is a Finnish former professional ice hockey defenseman who played in his country's top tier Liiga.
Playing career[edit]
Ilvonen made his first appearances for Tappara during the 2006–07 season. After a promising rookie year, he was selected by the Minnesota Wild in the sixth-round, 170th overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. In the spring of 2008 he had a brief stint with HPK before returning to Tappara for the next season.
