Feverish Finns hold off Sweden 3-2 at Four Nations Cup tournament
SASKATOON — A Finnish women’s hockey team devastated by illness held off Sweden 3-2 at the Four Nations Cup international tournament Wednesday.
Finland (1-1) had just 15 skaters for the game. Head coach Pasi Mustonen said a virus was working its way through the team and staff.
“The week is basically spoiled,” Mustonen said. “We can’t practise. There’s no energy to play.
“We had expectations to come here and show what we can do. We had a good team when we left (Finland).”
