Hagman and Niinimaa to join Team Finland
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZURICH (July 26, 2004) - Head Coach Raimo Summanen announced today that two new players will join the Finnish team. Forward Niklas Hagman will replace Sami Kapanen, who feels is unable to play on top level at this stage after the tough NHL season. Janne Niinimaa will replace Jere Karalahti, who originally was named to the team roster. Since Karalahti remains suspended from play in the National Hockey League pursuant to the terms of the NHL/NHLPA Program for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health, he is deemed ineligible for participation in the upcoming World Cup of Hockey.
The WCH 2004 tournament takes place in Europe and North America from August 30 to September 14.

I still haven´t got over the fact that Jere Karalahti is not allowed to play  But "Nikke" is a good choice to replace Sami Kapanen  |

Niinimaa replacing Karalahti was old news actually (certain regional newspaper told it to us as a fact nearly a month ago). And I told it to you...
Too bad Kapanen had to drop out. Little Nicky was not that impressive in the champs, but as usual, we're on small ice and NHL rules and blah blah blah so it's one completely new story. I believe in Summanen and to that the man knows what's he doing.

Practice? You need no stinkin' practice... the kind of table hockey I have in mind, I'm certain you can play that, because it's taught to us by Mother Nature. |
