Ässät was relegated after the previous SM-liiga season. Ässät crushed I-Divisioona records and was promoted back to the SM-liiga after just one season. Relegation to the I-Divisioona for the 1989–1990 season, however, raised the hockey boom in Pori, as the townspeople stood behind their team. Audience numbers increased from previous SM-liiga seasons when Ässät's games were watched with interest. For the I-Divisioona season, Ässät got top reinforcements when Arto Javanainen returned from TPS and Arto Heiskanen from Lukko. Aleksei Frolikov and Vladimir Durdin came from Riga Dynamo. Matti "Mölli" Keinonen became the coach. The visit to the I-Divisioona only lasted a season. Ässät was superior in the regular season, breaking numerous I-Divisioona records and easily progressing to the series win and SM-liiga qualification. In the SM-liiga qualifiers, Ässät faced JoKP. Ässät won the series 3–0 and returned to the SM-liiga.Majasaari Matti Pitkä laukaus : porilaisen jääkiekkoilun historia satakunnan kirjateollisuus 1994 9519583750 Pori 125–132 fi Regular season and promotion Ässät's regular season started with a 10–2 home victory against Kiekko-Espoo.
