Who coached Finnish National team when Kari Lehtonen played in Moscow in 2007?

[anna0manna]

Erkka Westerlund coached team Finland. That was his last tournament as head coach.

[maestrothegreat]

Why did he quit? He was good.

[anna0manna]

His contrct as head coach first ended in 2006 and he had planned to end his coaching career there but Finnish Ice Hockey Association persuaded him to continue for one more season. After that he became the principal of Sport Institute of Finland and this year he started in new post as the Director of Coaching for Finnish Ice Hockey Association so he still has an effect on Finnish ice hockey:)

[maestrothegreat]

Wow, thank you very much for the answer. It's very interesting! You know really a lot about hockey.

[anna0manna]

:D :D :D thanks! But it's not that difficult to follow the finnish hockey scene, I always read the sport news :)

What's you favorite Finnish team?

[anna0manna]

hmm, I would say I don't have just one favorite team and also, I'm not a diehard fan of any of them. But teams I wish the most success are Kärpät, Kalpa, Pelicans and small&sympathetic SaiPa:)

[maestrothegreat]

Wow, four teams! Do you follow the NHL too?

[anna0manna]

I usually check the game results from nhl web site but I've never watched an actual nhl game.

[maestrothegreat]

Have you thought about an opportunity to watch NHL game LIVE in Helsinki this October?

[anna0manna]

Yes, I'm definitely gonna watch the games on tv though it would have been nice to go to actual games but unfortunately I don't have any money :)
