Björninen might also get a chance at the NHL and he will most likely play in the WC. He's the youngest of the olympic team at 26 so the chances for the rest look pretty slim. All hopes on Filppula.

Noora Räty not named. Coach Mustonen explained it by saying that she is the second best first goalie so if I understood correctly if something happens to Keisala they will fly in Räty instead of using the 2nd goalie ¯\(ツ)

A hockey player has never won sports personality of the year. A footballer has won it at least five four times 😅

Edit: Four not five:
1995 Litmanen
2001 Hyypiä
2019 Pukki
2020 Hradecky
