Here are the goal videos.

Kiiskinen orange #88 in Golden helmet (best point-scorer).

I've said it earlier, but I really love this guy how naturally he acts at at interviews etc. Always so positive and always smiling with a lovely smile, throwing some funny comments. You just can't hate it. He will absolutely will be a good add to any lockerroom.

Got same feelings of Pellikka (personality), but Kiiskinen is something more. Good kids to have. Think they take their game and careers seriously, but also give energy for their teammates acting like that. Nice guys to hang around.

No wonder character matters to this org, locker room filled guys with similar mind set.

He seems like a future NHLer. He has that ‘it’ factor and just always seems to come up in clutch moments.

Why does he have a different helmet on? They give you a golden helmet if you're the top scorer? Can someone explain this lol. Never seen anything like it.

How many orgs does character not matter? Can we get a list?

It’s actually quite impressive to have 10K posts on this here hockey message board and never been exposed to European hockey, especially given the team you root for. Yes, in Finland the top scorer on each team wears a golden helmet.

They do it in the Swiss NL and in Finland. I think they also do it in Czech Extraliiga but could be wrong. I don’t think they do it in Sweden, but if your team wins the championship they give you a gold helmet at the celebration.

There are examples out there of teams who ignore players with poor character or other issues. A prime example is Montreal drafting Logan Mailloux in the 1st round.

Wow that's awesome. It seems like it would make you a target if you are wearing a golden helmet as the top scorer in the NHL tho lol
