Luke Lily to represent Finland

[Retuperkele 21]

Over the last few days, there has been discussion about Luke Lily and his preference to represent his country on mens level in ice hockey. As his mother is from Finland and his father is from Estonia, he has dual-citizenship and therefore can choose to play for either Finland or Estonia. We had a discussion with him about the subject over coffee in his flat in Tampere

 

Have you decided yet which country you are going to represent in the future?
I think the answer of very clear here. Finland has better potential to succeed in comparison to Estonia, who really dont even know what ice hockey is - or they are at the basic level of it. Especially when my parents split up when I was in my teens, I ended up moving back to Finland with my mother and living with her. I'm still in touch with my father every once in a while, but he really does not care about my wellbeing or health in general. He just wants to know if im alive, so to speak
