I had a pleasure to participate in IIHF Development Camp in Vierumäki Finland. It was a huge internationalevent with loads of hockey players from 46 countries. It was the 6th time this camp was organized (4th at Vierumäki) and the most famous players throughout the history of this camp are Anze Kopitar & Jeff Tambellini.

The best player around this time was Teemu Pulkkinen (Finland). Also Jonathon Merrill nameshould be remembered... wink.gif

The leading scorers in the camp:

1. Teemu Pulkkinen 13+11=24
2. Tom Kühnhackl 4+11=15
3. Nino Niederreiter 8+6=14

Estonian lads:

Artjom Gornostajev 8+4=12
Robert Rooba 5+3=8
Keven Leppimann 2+5=7
Artur Fedoruk 3+0=3
Martin Gut 1+1=2
Ken Kuusk 0+1=1
