6. What other sports have you played?
I've done sports for as long as I can remember. I played some soccer, basketball and floorball to name a few. However growing up as a kid in Finland it is not hard to get involved with hockey. That became my passion as well. And to answer the question you all have in your minds. No, it wasn't common back then to see black or biracial kids play hockey. So I consider myself as a pioneer ;)

. People associated with the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes. Döner Kebab and the whole experience that I get to have in general.

12.What type of training do you do in the off-season?
 I like to mix my training up quite a bit instead of just lifting weights and running. Spice it up a little bit and make it more fun. Last offseason I added some MMA to my training as well.

13.Who is your favorite musician?
 I will never stop listening to Bob Marley & The Wailers.

 I have never seen a horrible movie from Denzel Washington so you can definitely put him up there.
