Finland IIHF World Jr. Team Practice
Last night we hooked up with the coaches of Finland at the Flames-Red Wings game. I have worked with Kalle Kaskinen an assistant coach and Raimo Helminen the head coach was one of my assistants along with Jirki Lumme and Teppo Numminen in 1995 when I was the head instructor of the Finnish association hockey school in Vierumaki. We met after the first period in the restaurant and sat there and watched the second period together on a TV.
They had their last practice before leaving to play in their group in Edmonton starting Dec. 26. I went with my son Jim to watch and took about 30 minutes of video at the practice. The video is in the files section.
