Sain joululomalla ”hienon” idean tehdä Suomen jääkeikkoliigan joukkueista Dungeons and Dragons -hahmoja. Inspiraation lähteenä käytin sekä nykyisiä että vanhoja joukkuelogoja sekä itse kaupunkeja, joista ne ovat. Alla ovat jo valmiiksi saadut hahmot.

In English:

I had a “great” idea of drawing the teams of the Finnish hockey league as Dungeons and Dragons characters. I used both recent and older logos of the teams as well as the cities themselves a source of inspiration. The already finished characters can be found below.

This one's purely about looks, not the teams or coaching skills, though you can always try to boost your chosen candidate with some hot competence propaganda. Who doesn't love a capable team dad right?

How the tournament works: The coaches have been divided into four groups. The winner from each group will advance into semifinals, and the final will be between the top 2 candidates in the semifinals. Each poll will run for a week, so plenty of time to convince everyone of the worthiness of your fave dude!

No idea what these people look like? Not to worry; to save you from googling, there's two pictures of each coach under the cut, one official photo (this or previous Liiga season) and one recent-ish unofficial photo.

Rauman Lukko has welcomed two international players this season, 16 year old Lyubov Tokar of Israel (on left) and 18 year old Ana Kahlhammer of Austria.

Luba is the first Israeli to ever play in the Naisten Liiga and, quite possibly, the first Israeli woman to ever play in a top-tier European national league.*

A four season veteran of the European Women's Hockey League (EWHL), Ana joins Lukko from the 2019–20 Lakers Kärnten and has played with the Austrian Under-18 National Team at the IIHF World Women's U18 Championships D1A in 2017 and 2019, and D1B in 2020. She is the only Austrian active in the Naisten Liiga this season and only the second Austrian to ever play.
