Jääkiekossa

Jääkiekossa is the Finnish term for ice hockey. It is a fast-paced team sport played on an ice rink between two teams of six skaters. The objective of the game is to score by shooting a vulcanized rubber puck into the opposing team's net. Players wear ice skates and use sticks to control and shoot the puck. The game is divided into three periods, typically 20 minutes each, with intermissions between periods. Physical contact is a significant part of the game, and players are equipped with protective gear to prevent injuries.

Finland has a strong tradition in ice hockey, with the sport being one of its most popular. The Finnish men's national ice hockey team, often referred to as "Leijonat" (The Lions), has achieved significant international success, including multiple World Championship titles and Olympic medals. Finnish ice hockey leagues, most notably the Liiga, are highly competitive and have produced many world-class players. The sport is played at various levels across the country, from amateur leagues to youth programs, fostering a deep-rooted passion for the game in Finnish culture.
