Zinny, a new player to the SHL has created Erkki Kaila, a Right Wing, S81 SMJHL prospect waiting to see where he will spend his Junior career. I had the opportunity to ask him a few questions prior to his big day this weekend:

Are you creating your player based on a real person or your own inspiration?

I'm basing my player off of Sean Couturier. He was a defensive powerhouse right off the start, and then years later took big leaps on offense. That's my plan

What type of role do you think your player will fit best?

Definitely a two way role. I could see a possibility of being a power forward later in my career when my offensive skills come around.

What are your plans for your player? Any specific goals your wanting to achieve?

In a 66 game season, I'd like to put up 35pts and have solid defensive numbers, 50+% corsi, above 0 plus minus

How did you end up hearing about the SHL?

On the cross promo on Gameplan Hockey Manager discord

Do you follow any professional hockey? (NHL, KHL, European Leagues) If so, do you have a favourite team?

Philadelphia Flyers!

Who do you think is winning the Super Bowl?

I hope the Eagles
