Finland wins Euro Hockey Tour tournament in Helsinki

Finland secured the Euro Hockey Tour title after defeating Sweden 3–2 in the final match held at the Helsinki Arena. The Leijonat finished the tournament with a perfect record, having previously defeated Switzerland 3–1 and Czechia 2–1 in a shootout.

The final against Sweden saw Mikko Lehtonen open the scoring, followed by goals from Jere Innala and Iiro Pakarinen. Petteri Rimpinen, making his national team debut, earned the win in goal. Head coach Antti Pennanen highlighted the performance of his goaltending trio, which included Kari Piiroinen and Kim Saarinen, as a key factor in the tournament success.

Attendance for the tournament reached 25,575 spectators across three games. Finnish Ice Hockey Association CEO Sami Kauhanen noted that ticket sales saw an uptick following the association’s clarified stance regarding Russian participation in international competitions, following a recent CAS ruling.
