Putting Up A Fight - Raimo Tuominen

CALGARY - The Victory Hockey League season continues. While the playoff teams in the European Conference seem to be far from the lower seeded teams in their respective conference, the North American conference continues to be close. In the race for a playoff spot is the Calgary Wranglers; a young scrappy team looking for some playoff action. Raimo Tuominen is one of these players. He may not be the fresh faced young winger turned center that came into the league anymore but he is entering his prime years. Now, his goal is to do what he can to contribute to a Wranglers playoff push.

 

“In my VHL career, I have only been in two playoffs. Both of them were in my first two years, S91 and S92, and both times they ended in a first round exit. I’m hoping that we can make a push to the playoffs and begin to show our winning potential there. It has been a season with ups and downs and with how close the NA conference is proving to be, nothing is promised. That’s fine, nothing should be promised. It should be earned.” Raimo Tuominen said.

 

“I think we can make it to the playoffs. We aren’t the favourites by far but once those playoffs start, being the favourites starts to matter a little less. They still matter but I intend on fighting regardless.”
