I was a big fan of Teppo Numminen and Jyrki Lumme. I remember when the Coyotes had 5 Finns on the team and gave out posters commemorating that. I think I still have that poster around here somewhere.Hei,
I'm finnish, greetings from Tampere
Edit: Fun fact, there is many great current or former NHL players from Tampere
Barkov, Laine, Hintz, Jyrki Lumme and our former captain Teppo Numminen just to name few
Did you attend the WJC? I was there for the semis and finals, we had a big Sweden flag with 'Linköping' written on it. I had planned on wearing my Kachina if Sweden didn't make it to the finals but obviously that didn't happen.Hej!
I’m swedish, living in Gothenburg.
Costa Rica here used to live in Calgary Canada
Not many.. trying to learn to watch soccer now too.How many sheets of ice are in Costa Rica?
Local hockey is not a spectator sport here. I play in the local league (not top tier). I imagine that if I had lived in Finland or Sweden, I'd be very much into the local league.Do y'all support local hockey in the country you live? What team(s) do you support?
I support my local team. They were in the news recently because of the death of Adam Johnson. He was playing for them at the timeDo y'all support local hockey in the country you live? What team(s) do you support?
Sounds awesome. No I wasn't there but did watch the games and it seemed like a fantastic atmosphere. I was looking at getting tickets but not too many of my mates enjoy watching hockey as much as myself. And to tell you the truth, I can barely skate!Did you attend the WJC?

Another Brit here (Guess UK Yote is a clue)
didn't want to pick the same team as everybody else
I'm a fan of Linköping HC, my hometown team. Broc Little, my favorite player who has been with the club for a long time (9 seasons), is from Arizona. AFAIK he was never drafted, but he has been a great player for us. Future LHC legend.Do y'all support local hockey in the country you live? What team(s) do you support?
No Norwegians have ever played for the Coyotes, and it's not mentioned much here. Smallest here, at least.So you asked yourself "which team has the smallest fan base?" Good choice.
