Another week, another bunch of announcements coming! 2018 Olympics are not too far away and today we have European powerhouse announcing who they have got.

Team Finland looks to be merging their youth and experience into one group in order to succeed at the Pyeongchang tournament.

Their goaltending depth is what stands out straight away with KHL's Koskinen as expected starter and former NHL'r Ramo clutching it in case of a need. While Metsola is to be the 3rd string guy for them, he can certainly jump into action.

Finn D-core is filled with experience top to bottom, but a name that stands out is the Dallas Stars prospect Miro Heiskanen who will dress for them at the Olympics as a rookie of senior men's national team. A lot will be in the hands of the rookie.

Heiskanen won't be the only rookie to have a role to play for Finland - Eeli Tolvanen the record-breaking KHL 18-year old Predators Prospect will step on the ice when the puck drops in Korea. He will be an incredible asset to that experienced core up front that will carry names like Petri Kontiola and Jonas Enlund.


The roster:

Goalies:
Mikko Koskinen, Karri Rämö and Juha Metsola.

Defensemen: Mikko Lehtonen, Tommi Kivistö, Lasse Kukkonen, Sami Lepistö, Juuso Hietanen, Miro Heiskanen, Miika Koivisto and Ahtte Ohtamaa.

Forwards: Marko Anttila, Julius Junttila, Eeli Tolvanen, Joonas Kemppainen, Jani Lajunen, Jonas Enlund, Petri Kontiola, Mika Pyörälä, Jarno Koskiranta, Oskar Osala, Sakari Manninen, Teemu Hartikainen, Jukka Peltola and Veli-Matti Savinainen
