Today was a great day for Estonian hockey!

We shake hands with ex team-mate of Randy Carlyle in Winnipeg Hannu Järvenpää, who will be the new coach of Estonian U18 team!!!

Hannu Järvenpää played 114 games in NHL. 126 for Team Finland, is member of Hockey Hall of Fame in Finland, played more than 300 games in Finnish SM-league. He was line mate of ex Duck Jari Kurri in Team Finland. He has been assistant coach in Finnish SM-league in Lappeenranta SaiPa & Lahti Pelicans. He has won 1 gold and 1 silver (2 days ago) as a coach of Team Finland in in-linw Worlds...

We had some 3 hours of good talk in Helsinkiand got firm YES!

This news will be announced in Estonia at the end of month, but You guys and girls are the first to know!

I am a happy camper at the moment!

By the way he wished Ducks the best luck and hopes the win the cup.gif !!! wink.gif

I have spoken with the leaders of Your Federation - Lippmans & Grabovskis - and we have agreed that Team Latvia (U18) will visit us on January 19th and 20th and then we'll see... wink.gif

We officially announced Hannu Järvenpää as our head coach today and made national tv (ETV) news with it!!!

So here is a clip to enjoy: http://etvsport.ee/index.php?0&popup=video&id=4249

The text is in estonian, but Järvenpää interview in English!

I am the fat guy in the corner... whistling.gif

I watched and you're right ... the only part I understood was when Hannu was speaking in English. laugh.gif
