I just registered for the coaching symposium in Helsinki May 11-13 during the IIHF World Championships. It includes all of the sessions plus tickets to two games each evening. I found a good price for the flight $1250 which is $400 cheaper than anything else I saw. Calgary-London-Helsinki, May 8-16.

There is a Youth Symposium the week before but I can only afford one.

It gives me a chance to meet with Juhani Wahlsten and Kalle Kaskinen in Turku which is a few hours away by car. In Turku I stay with Juhani in his Sauna Hotel. He puts a mattress in the Sauna. There is a host hotel in Helsinki. The league I coach in will pay the conference fee with the agreement that I give a seminar on the ideas I pick up there.

Coach Deniz Ince from Turkey is going to meet me there as well.

Should be a good hockey experience.

Another coach is going to join us in Jasper. Doug Blaney is a fantastic skater and coaches skating. He is going to come on the ice to help and to pick up some ideas about coaching hockey and skating. He will be a great addition.
