Ice hockey edit

Please, someone, add something about ice hockey. It is, after all, probably the most influential sport in Finland today. Kjpuu 16:24, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

WINTER sports edit

Sorry but this article is absurd. I cannot believe that the writer has any knowledge of Finland. By far and away THE most important sport in Finland, by a country mile, is Ice Hockey. The NEXT most popular sports are skiing of various forms, nowadays including snowboarding of course. After all those come the sports written about here. This article should be called a stub!

Disc Golf edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Nothing about disc golf (Finns tend to name it frisbeegolf)?! Finland offers by far the most disc golf courses in Europe (actually 2nd behind US world wide), for many years hosts world top class events like European Open. On "The Beast" in Nokia and Tyyni Open come hundreds of players from around the world every year and there are quite some players in world top 50 from Finland. Seppo Paju to name one. There is new huge resort in Tampere...
