August 31 last year we wrote to our blog with headline ”There is talent”. Now when our mission is over and Estonia has earned spot at next season Div-I level it is easy to say that we were correct – There is talent. Our players really deserved to win the tournament last week. These Estonian hockey players were dedicated, skilled and worked hard. It was a privilege for us to coach this team.
Now that players have earned the spot on Div-I for Estonia it is time that management starts respecting players and treating them right. It is amazing that these players have been able to play at high level when their management has not done their job. Things are not working from very simple things like having transportation on time or water at the bench to much bigger issues like getting them proper training conditions.
We sincerely hope that Estonian hockey will have management in the future that can raise funds and take care of their players, the most important people in Estonian hockey.
Once again our sincere thanks to all players and people who helped Team Estonia to reach its goal and best of luck in the future.
Ismo & Jukka

Thank you for your effort and commitment. It was a real pleaseure following your "adventure" here on blogspot and the outcome of your work on ice.
VastaaPoistaI totally share your critisism towards the management of local icehockey but as long as the position of these people is more important to them than the game, there will be no vsible results. One must be ready to sacrifice more in order to get things going.
Anyway, thanks again and hope to hear from you soon!
We thank You, Ismo&Jukka and the Team, for this achivement and look for further improvement in estonian icehockey
