Excerpts from Zander Hollander's Guide to Pro Hockey, 1979-80 (by Reyn Davis)
The only Finn who played professional hockey in North America last year ... Posted a 25-21-3 record for the Jets, who protected him in the expansion draft ... An acrobatic netminder who loves to challenge shooters ... Spends his summers in his hometown of Tampere, Finland ... Beat the Russians for the first time in his career during the WHA All-Star series against Moscow Dynamo last January ... A left winger who catches with his right hand ... Has an excellent temperament ... Soft spoken ... Wears contact lenses.
