Who is going from Canada?

What are you competing in?

Does anyone think they can out-drink the finns?

Cheers

I might go since I'm staying in Moscow this summer and it's pretty close to Finland.

And yea, I will out-trink finns!!!

what's the legal drinking age in finland?

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 05 Feb 2005 01:30

First: No-one (exept Russians maybe) can out-drink Finns.

Second: Do not ever challenge a Finn to a drinking competition. That can get physical.

Third: The legal age for buying under 20% alcohol from stores and anything from bars is 18 years.
The legal age for buying spirits from stores is 20 years.
And yes, they do care who are they selling to.

Ok, please tell me this is a joke. THere *NEEDS* to be more canucks at this years worlds...

Anyone? Im assuming Manu and some other montrealers are going, and probably a couple of net players from van, but no reps from the freestyle community? How will Canada ever start to dominate freestyle like Manu has at net? (mind you with that vasek kid, that could be quite challenging)

Calm down.... worlds is not tomorrow... Most of the Canadian players who are probably going don't check modified every single day.

I'm guessing at least these canadians will be there,
Nick Laroche
Ellis Piltz & Caro
Dylan Fry
Yacine Merzouk
and at least one more from Montreal, who's name I can't remember right now. Sorry if I spelled any of your names wrong.

Hey Anssi,

Get Physical? Really? I can believe it! I remember drinking with a bunch of you finns in van 2000, and we started talking hockey and i was trying to explain how Jari Kurri was my favorite as a kid and Janne Niinima was my current fav player and someone refused to believe me, thought I was making fun of finns and hockey and was downright upset. I dont remember who, but it was kinda funny that he went kinda insane about it. Mind you this was after 8 beers maybe, so i can see why I should never challenge a finn to a drinking contest

Guess again, I know at least one person on that list who is 99% not going.

Yup

and finns don't need to be drunk to get physical when talking about ice hockey (or doing anything with swedish people).

footbinc · Post by **footbinc** » 08 Feb 2005 06:42

I might have to dig out my old niinima or kurri jersey to bring to worlds

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 08 Feb 2005 08:46

Yeah

and btw: it's Niinimaa with two a's

A word of advice: Turku´s posse is even worse.

(Naah, not really. Really we are quite calm guys. Except Anssi when he is having a hangover.)

Anssi, I hope to get hammered with you some time. Hammered, yo.

footbinc · Post by **footbinc** » 09 Feb 2005 15:34

Sorry this is totally off topic but I was able to find a summary of Finnish training program. I bet russians also use some training methods of this. (This is just to help you to get in "summer condition" )

lasse · Post by **lasse** » 10 Feb 2005 13:55

Anssi didn't you do some training to the drinking decathlon at FFO04?? You seemed unstoppable atleast on hurling...
