After reaching the medal round in the past 3 seasons, and taking bronze in two of those three seasons, Finland is back and ready to continue with that trend.

We've had a few players who've moved on up to the IIHF and we're excited to bring back a roster that's represents a strong core, with a few additions and a few players we've got on loan from our next door neighbors.

Introductions our Alternates, Lemo Pihl, Jarmo Kekalaine and Ragnar-Alexandrew Ragnarsson-Tremblay(RART).

We feel with this crew we'll be able to take our team to the next level and bring home the gold this year.
