Hi Tom,

Mexico sounds interesting place to coach, there should be challenging skaters to teach but I think very rewarding also. I would have like to be there but since I'm working almost full-time and coaching on the side traveling is luxury once in ten years or so. During next Christmas time we will head to Czech for a tournament with one of out two teams but I don't know if I'm able to go along.

I hope some day we'll get a change to go to Canada. This January we went to Ornskoldsvik, Sweden for U13 tournament and boys loved that place and tournament was so well arranged that I can recommended that place for everyone. Maybe you know that place, it's very famous hockey down? We got to visit the locker room also in the Fjallraven arena where MoDo plays and saw Forsberg's gear. Unfortunately Fobba has left the building already 😉.

Russia is close but I don't know why Finnish teams don't visit there more. Maybe the language barrier is quite high since most of us can speak Swedish and English but not so many speak Russia…
