Keskustahyökkääjäin is a Finnish term that translates to "center forward" or "centre-forward" in English. It refers to a specific attacking position in sports like ice hockey and football (soccer). The center forward is typically positioned in the middle of the attacking line and is responsible for scoring goals and creating scoring opportunities for their teammates.
