I would love a HF meet to happen in Finland with whoever can attend. Not like I'd have the will to organize a such thingy but would be cool. Okay leering slightly off-topic here.

Nah, this is still somewhat related.
I'd suggest meeting up at some easy location, like Helsinki central railway station (well before a game starts), going to the game, enjoy the game with people who actually know something about hockey and maybe go for a pint or two at whatever pub's the closest.
Nothing too fancy, just an evening of beer and hockey, since it's awesome.
Just curious, but do Finnish people have a snowmobile brand that they prefer? is it a local brand, or do you guys import stuff from over here? Like Polaris or Artic Cat?
Polaris and Artic Cat both were started in Minnesota, about 30-45 minutes from each other in pretty small towns. Polaris from a town with a lot of Finnish and Swedish ancestors, and Artic Cat from a town that has a lot of Germans and Fins.
Thought it would be interesting if you guys imported from some of your off-shoot descendants
I prefer Lynx, it is local brand. But people aslo have Polari, Ski-Doo, AC, Yamaha etc

I'm certainly game guys. As I said, my dates are pretty firm (namely because my birthday is on the 20th of February) so it would be around that timeframe.
Is WiFi pretty much everywhere around the city? I know in Moldova the saving grace for us was getting on a hotspot and pulling up the maps and everything else while we were there. Only reason I don't think we got lost was I had access to Google Maps

Yeah, there are quite a lot of open Wifis around the Helsinki area. Almost every bar/coffee shop/restaurant has an open wifi, much of the government buildings also. It's really nice.
16.02.2013 La 17.00 Jokerit - KalPa.
This is my proposal. Hartwall Areena Helsinki is the stage for this match of two top teams of the SM-Liiga. You also get to see Teuvo Teräväinen, & Artturi Lehkonen, the electrifying youngsters.

But...but... It's a Jokerit game...
Okay, screw it, I'm in. Will be actually nice to watch a game as a neutral.
Oh, and I suggest taking a day trip to Tallinn, if you have the time. It's really close (40 miles) from Helsinki, the cruises are quite cheap, they use the same currency (Euro) as Finland and you can buy tax-free stuff from the boat.
Of course, the overnight trips are more fun because, well, everyone is drunk and it's a great way to get an insight on Finnish culture.

I was going to suggest that too . There isnt that much to do in Finland during winter, unless you visit some ski-resort, but exploring Helsinki and visiting Tallinn is probably the best option.
Hotel: Scandic Simonkenttä: Great hotel with perfect location next to kamppi.
And you are in the centre of nightlife. There are lots of bars. or you can Go to clubs like
"the tiger" (just a few steps away of simonkenttä), Onnela, etc. The nightlife is great.
If you dont find anything just ask the you people on the streets.
