Finland on Offense
Look for these players:
Tomi Bruns: A very intelligent
player with huge hucks and outstanding timing on his cuts.
Marko Korhonen: The fastest player
on the team. Remarkable agility and awesome physique. Look out for
those famous inside-out throws.
Jouni Kukkonen: Standing at
approximately two meters and having impressive aerial
capabilities and speed makes him a very versatile player indeed and
a challenge for all defenders.
Finland on Defense
Look for these players:
Marko Miettinen: Lots of stamina
and speed. A hint to handlers: handle with care...
Olli Suurnäkki: Gravity means
nothing to him. A defensive visionary.
Ville Toppila: Fast and furious.
Surprises with his defensive layouts.
