CALGARY - Raimo Tuominen has been splitting his offseason time between playing in the World Cup of Hockey and playing in the VHL’s Pro-Am league. He is still feeling the lingering pain of an early exit after such a good season in the VHL. Now entering his third season, he has a goal in mind.

 

“I want to be part of a deep playoff run. And for that to happen, I need to be better.”

 

Raimo Tuominen has been accepting all chances he has gotten to play hockey. The Pro-Am and the World Cup of Hockey are the first events that come to mind, however, he has also been spotted joining (AHL) Calgary Wranglers practices, University of Calgary practices, and may even suit up for the Wranglers for the upcoming AHL playoffs while the off-season is going. He wants to be in shape. He wants to be better. So he will pursue every chance he gets.

 

There does bring up the discussion of whether or not he will tire himself out. As for that, Raimo seems to be very confident in his endurance.

 

“I don’t think that will be an issue. Besides, I want to stay game ready and up to speed throughout the entirety of the offseason. I had my time to enjoy my break last offseason but I’m really not satisfied with how I did in my second VHL season.”

 

“Even if I were tired, I would not stop. I do not want to.”
