I'll update the thread with some stats if I have the time... Pekka Lampinen 05-17-2004, 02:32 PM Where's Kalle Helminen? Four goalies but no Helminen? My hype really failed me here. As far as I know, Himanka, Jalvanti, Molin and Lehto form the d-man core. The offense can't be called strong, Nyholm and Tuominen are probably the most interesting forwards. Correspondingly, here's the U16 roster. There's not much to chew here, just memorize some names. Goalies: Toni Reunanen TPS Teemu Sanaksenaho KeLä Harri Säteri HPK Joni Weckström Jäähonka Defensemen: Iiro Havukainen TPS Sami Martikainen Blues Tomi Tuomivaara Tappara Juha Relander HIFK Matias Kiviharju S-Kiekko Joni Liljeblad Kärpät Joonas Grönqvist HJK Jesse Jyrkkiö Ässät Olli Keränen Jäähonka Tuukka Peiponen KalPa Harri Nieminen HJK Markus Raaska JYP Roope Kämäräinen Ilves Lari Salo Ässät Tom Lindstedt HJK Joonas Salmi Kärpät Forwards: Niko Kivinen Hermes Nestori Lähde Ilves Ville Rankinen Jokerit Toni Jalo TPS Jaakko Isokoski YJK Niklas Sandberg TPS Tomi Pallassalo Jokerit Niko Palonen Ässät Ville Rajala Kärpät Joonas Rantanen Haukat Miika Hymylä Kisa-Eagles Jukka-Pekka Keränen IPK Anton Kokkonen TuTo Tomi Sallinen HJK Lassi Kokkala TPS Henri Grönfors HJK Jesse Östring Ilves Pekka Pikkuhookana SoPa Miikka Sireni K-Reipas Joonas Välisalmi Lukko Niclas Lucenius TPS Tomi Rouhiainen HJK Tommi Ranta KJT Taneli Hiltunen Jukurit IFK 05-17-2004, 03:38 PM Where's Kalle Helminen? Four goalies but no Helminen? My hype really failed me here. As far as I know, Himanka, Jalvanti, Molin and Lehto form the d-man core. How you could forget Purolinna and Tenhunen? They have very good size and they can also play very well whit puck. Purolinna got last year C-juniors, 11 game and 3+3=6 and Tenhunen got 11 game and 1+4=5. I think they are both locked U17 team and i think they have chance U18 WJC next year. They upside is maybe best this croup whit Nyholm. Purolinna 6'2" and Tenhunen 6'2", what a monster pair. They could easily grow 6'5". Raimo Sillanpää 05-24-2004, 01:55 AM What I'd love to see, is something similar for the u-17 team as the u-20 team had this last season, games against teams bigger and tougher than them... say the u-17 team playing u-20 teams? Ofcourse, for some of them that might be too big a physical gap, so it could be a makeshift u-20 with primarily smaller guys, but ones still bigger than what the u-17's have, to get them used to playing agaisnt tougher opponents. It did wonders for the u-20's imho. Korkki 05-24-2004, 04:39 AM Where's Kalle Helminen? Four goalies but no Helminen? My hype really failed me here. And I thought Joonas Itäjärvi would get his chance, despite his average regular season statistics he played the bronze medals for Ässät almost alone. I also wonder why the third best junior C team in Finland is not represented with any players. Ilves was really dominant in junior C level, they bashed all their main opponents quite easily. The future in Tampere looks pretty bright after second championship in row.
