Participate in Helsinki winter sports

Ice hockey

If you’re in the mood and the right place to participate in Helsinki winter sports, why not try your hand (and feet) at ice hockey? To play ice hockey well, you need to know how to skate on ice fast and accurately while being able to maneuver around with so much padding and protective gear on your body. At the same time, you have to know how to use your hockey stick so that you can shoot the hockey puck into the opposing team’s goal.

Full contact sport

Why is so much protective gear required when you participate in Helsinki winter sports like ice hockey? Well, for one thing, it’s a full contact sport where you can literally get an elbow in your eye, or get your teeth knocked out by a wayward hockey stick (or fist from an opposing team’s member) if you’re not careful. And even if you are super careful, the fact that it is a full contact sport means blood inevitably flows at some point during the game.
