Pinli grew up in Finland so he had ample opportunity to get games in outdoors. It's one of those things that you do a lot of as a kid but as hockey looks like more and more of a viable career path for you, you tend to do it less and less. Pro training sessions don't happen outside, scouts don't show up to Finnish lake pick up games, and your SMJHL team plays in a big stadium somewhere. So I think it would be special to Pinli, to some degree, to play a real game outside again. I think there would be a big nostalgia factor, to reconnect with something that used to be such a big part of his hockey journey. Sure it's cold and uncomfortable and kinda miserable if the weather sucks, but that's the way it was back then too! It's playing hockey the way Pinli remembers it at 7 years old, rather than the way he's been playing for the last decade. In that way I think Pinli gets a lot out of it, even if he misses his heated dressing stall a bit.
