After the Olympics, the Tampere World Cup will be almost as big a attraction.

Is funny notice how the two new players brought so much more interest to the November hockey Karelia tournament.
Two calls from the lion coaching team to Geneva, Switzerland, took the event to a new level.
Central striker Valtteri Filppula replied that he was interested in the national team. A good decision from a 37-year-old.
Defender Sami Vatanen, 30, entered the doors of Hartwall Arena on the same ride. Filppula said after the victorious Czech game that not much has been thought about the Olympics. He expressed his interest in the Tampere World Cup earlier.
Olympics and the World Championships are magic words that get new movement for hockey players.
The body of the team leaving for the Beijing Olympics will come from the NHL – that is, if the NHL finally confirms its participation.
Although the top fields are assembled from the North American side, there are enough places for those playing in Europe.
Defending defender in St. Petersburg SKA Mikko Lehtonen like Vatanen and Filppula, can get to fit a new patterned Lion shirt.
NHL and high salaries elevate players to a new income class but don’t always send them to the same skill level at the same pace. That is why the coaching management also keeps an eye on the European side.
Vatanen and Filppula are still NHL-level players without a contract to North America. They found the washes in Switzerland and showed over the long weekend that their names should not be wiped over.
Tampereen The World Cup will be played in the new Arena in May. Some NHL players can’t get there because of their own club rushes, even if a little mind does.
Again, the focus is on Europe, and a slightly larger number of players than at the Olympics.
With these equations, the interest in puck for the winter beginning rises to another potency compared to everyday base winters.
