Jaska Seppala is very proud of being a Finnish soon to be superstar. He considers it to be an extreme honor and is very humbled to be given the opportunity to speak in front of his old school. Because of this, he took a lot of time in preparing his speech so that he did not stand up in front of all these kids just to stumble through it. The speech was basically how determined he was to make a name for himself, how long he practiced day in and day out to achieve his goals of playing in the SHL and that anybody can really do it. He did not get there because of some special gift, he got there because he wanted it. Who knows, maybe he did inspire someone and maybe there is the next Jaska Seppala in the crowd. His only hope is that someone took that to heart and will work even harder to achieve their dream.
