This guy is excellent. I think he was the biggest snub from the Finland U18 roster. He’s a guy I expect to rise and be picked in the top half of the draft.

He has a cool name so I hope he makes it.

Doss his name mean winter hill in Finnish?

Yes. What I think is neat about it is that I rarely see the word "kunnas" in surnames or anywhere really. It is not a word people usually use to say "hill". Never heard lastname Talvikunnas before.

How did Talvikunnas play for U17 NT last season? 0 points in 7 games and -10 seems pretty bad.
