'Enjoy the Game'UNDERSTANDING INTERNATIONAL ICEHOCKEY – 1950-1990's
My good friend Juhani Wahlsten (Juuso) of Turku, Finland resent me this article he wrote in the early 90's. It is about his hockey background where he learned the game outside in Kuopio a little town where they had moved to avoid the bombing in Helsinki. Hockey was a new game there. Juuso went on to play 11 years with the National Team and 3 Olympics. He is in the Finnish Sports Hall of Fame and was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame about six years ago along with the Swede Kent Nilsson and Russian Petrov. I think the Finns view Juuso like Canadians view Gordie Howe.
When Juuso retired from playing he taught PE in the school system and hockey classes at two sports schools in Turku. Virta, Koivu, Kipprusoff, were some of his students. He also coached in Finland, Spain and Germany. Juuso speaks 7 languages. When I was with him in Vienna and we were teaching the Austrian coaches the ABC system he did the classes and I did the ice time. He taught in German, talked with me in English and with a Finn who was coaching there in Finnish. I remember him going to France to give a seminar in of course French, he spoke Spanish to the Spaniards and Swedish to the Swedes and so on. He is an INTERNATIONAL PERSON.
Juuso negotiated contracts for the first Finns to come and play in the World Hockey Association, both his sons were drafted by the NHL and had long European pro careers (Jali also played in the AHL). Scotty Bowman asked him to be his assistant coach in Buffalo and he would have been the first European NHL coach but he stayed in Finland.
I have pasted the article below and will update what he has done since the article at the end.
