Since some of us are familiar with this guy who goes by snooplax on the USLIA.com and Laxpower message boards, he and his Finland team should be proud of their accomplishments as they are now 4-1 with a 2-27 loss to Canada today.

This is the link from London Free Press (July 19, 2006):

Finland are now playing for 9th place in the tournament. Not bad for a country that has only played for 5 years. Just think what we can do with some funding!

Congratulations, I wish you all the luck in Finland. Great job.
