Although ValePa lost at home in the sixth final and even its chipper Matias Tihumäki was injured in Kuopio at the end of the second round, the team did not falter. It found ways to win.
As many as four of the five championships have been won on the away field, that also says a lot.

“We have worked closely with the duo’s clubs, Friedrichshafen and Trentino. Other clubs have already asked them for next season. Cavasink did well in the Champions League, and our main goal next year is to participate and succeed in European fields, ”Arve-Talvitie emphasized.
Arve-Talvitie believes that VaLePA will have good foreigners on the team next season as well.
“New players are coming, names will be announced later. Foreign clubs want to develop their young players in Finland. The clubs know that the young people get playing time here and develop because there are a lot of matches, ”Arve-Talvitie emphasized.
