Floorball season opener

Went to the season opener game of OLS in Finnish Floorball championship league. It was my first time ever to see this game live on this level. It's pretty damn fast and very good entertainment. I sat on the first row so I was really close to the action. I totally recommend this to anybody who enjoys watching a fast team sport. The game is pretty physical also nowadays. I'm sure I'm going to see quite many of these games this season as I have free entrance as a co-coach of my son's F junior team.

Let's play hockey!!!

I can hardly wait to see how Oulun Kärpät will do in SM Liiga this season. The team has gone through some changes compared to last year and there are a few very interesting players in the roster now - Teemu Aalto, Kimmo Koskenkorva, Pekka Saarenheimo and Pavel Rosa. Especially I'm looking forward to see how Koskenkorva who is now returning to Kärpät after many years is going to perform.
Also otherwise the SM Liiga should be rather interesting this season with a few very talented young players trying to establish themselves as solid SM Liiga players. Last season's rookie of the year, Hartikainen, should now show what he's really made of. And then the 17 year old boy Mikael Granlund who moved from Kärpät to HIFK is certainly a player to follow. I hope he does well.

PS. Last weekend I bought a new set of hockey equipment for my 8 years old son. It's a damn expensive hobby. I hope I don't need to buy all the gear every year.
