On the upcoming Saturday me and Virpi are going to see a speedway contest in Seinäjoki. Virpi hasn't ever seen a speedway competition. So this is some kind of warm up for the spring for her and me when World Cup of Speedway comes to Tampere.

Oh hell yeah, it was very entertaining. Virpi also liked it. The weather was great too. The next race is one of the world cup races which we will attend here in Tampere in May. One of the riders was only 16 years old, but he was a really good driver. I think he will be heard in Finland in the upcoming years.
There was a time when Tampere was the Mecca of speedway in Finland. Now there isn't even a decent track for speedway in Tampere.

Yesterday Finland won the World Championship in U-20 in ice-hockey. They beat the team Sweden in overtime 3-2. This was a pleasant surprise to me and I think to the most Finns.

Thank you! The previous Junior Championship was won 16 years ago. So it was about a time.

Today I was with Virpi at an ice-hockey game Tappara against Kärpät from Oulu. When we entered the ice-hockey hall there was Battle Beast - Out Of Control on the air. How cool was that. My fave song from 2013 started the moment we were inside the hall. And Tappara won 3-2.

It was thanks to this guy that my fave team won the Finnish championship in ice-hockey this year. Now this guy from Tampere played his first NHL game and scored right away. He also made a pass to the 4 - 4 goal. He is only 18 years old. www.nhl.com/jets/video/c-45280103

does that mean that you're going to be watching the NHL this year?

^ No it doesn't, because the games come in the night time in Finland. Btw, I am pretty sure this young Patrik Laine will make more points this season than any other Finnish ice-hockey player in NHL.
