1Pasi Nielikainen The Pasi
2Dino Ciccarelli My all time favourite player
3Kari Haakana Strong and steady stay-at-home defender. Had some tough luck with injuries in his last seasons.
4Toni Makiaho McBeast
5Jody Shelley One of the toughest who have played in Finland
6Ryan VandenBussche An entertaining fighter. It was nice to see him playing in Finland. Too bad they didn't like him in the Finnish parliament.
7Asko Rantanen This guy is a legend in Mestis (the 2nd highest league in Finland). Too bad his career was cut short due injuries. Now he's made a comeback in Suomi-sarja (the 3rd highest league in Finland)
8Sinuhe Wallinheimo A great showman. And a good singer too. His band S.W. Heimon Kädet is one of my favourite bands that don't play metal. Has also released an English speaking album as Wally.

10Timo Blomqvist Jönni was the first Finnish player to play physical and fight every now and then in the NHL.

19Ville Nieminen One of my favorite agitators
20Trevor Doyle Probably the toughest player ever to play in Finland

1HPK Hameenlinna 2005-2006 The Finnish champions! My favourite team captured their 1st ever Finnish championship with few really interesting players like Nielikäinen and Astashenko
2HPK Hameenlinna 2007-2008 This team sucks out loud, it's full of gutless players and it has a pacifist as a coach but it's still my favourite team and I hope the things will be better with this team next season. Still they had few interesting players during the season like Nielikäinen, Mäkiaho and Jarrett

Violent Events

#EventComments
1Dec 8, 2001 Peter Schaefer (TPS) vs. Toni Makiaho (HIFK) That cheap shit Schaefer really deserved the beating Mäkiaho gave him
2Sep 13, 2007 (Hit) Lee Sweatt (TPS) vs. Toni Makiaho (HPK) We need more hits like this in FEL
3Jan 26, 2008 Libor Ustrnul (HIFK) vs. Sami Helenius (Jokerit) Probably the best Finnish hockey fight ever!
4Apr 4, 1995 TPS-Jokerit Bench-Clearing Brawl A bench-clearing brawl in the FEL finals. Instant classic.
5Aug 26, 2008 Pelicans-Blues Brawl 6 vs 6 brawl in FEL preseason. Great stuff.
6Nov 26, 2009 Tuukka Mantyla (Tappara) vs. Ilari Melart (HIFK) Happened because of dirty play by Mäntylä earlier same season. No, Melart did not destroy Mäntylä. But atleast he tried. Other teams and players have done nothing to retaliate Mäntylä's cheap shots.
7May 4, 2004 (Hit) Sami Kapanen (Philadelphia) vs. Darcy Tucker (Toronto) Huge hit! And I love how Kapanen fights his way back to the bench.
8Apr 10, 2010 Matt Cooke (Pittsburgh) vs. Evander Kane (Atlanta)
