The traditional Lace Tournament has started in Rauma. At the beginning of August, the people’s wild puck day started as usual early in the morning, when Tappara and HIFK met already in the match that started at 8.45, which was taken by HIFK with goals 2−1.

There is always a kind of puck romance around the lace tournament. The most in a hurry are in a hurry to condemn their favorite team’s season lost as early as August, but most are still taking the tournament with humor when players have just returned from summer pastures.

One of the hilarities that caused the opening match came from the narrator when the Solid Sport the narrator spoke of “Santtu Moravčík” during the rally between Tappara and HIFK. Tappara’s new Czech defender Michal Moravčík turned in Santtu Kinnusen kit as a pair.

Eventually, in the last moments of the match, the commentator himself noticed that there was an error in the match leaflet with the names.

– Santtu Moravčík has come at least 15 times during the match. The name Moravčík, in its own end, is calcified by a Slav. But with humor, this is cleared up, the narrator laughed.

Of course, the tournament and its events should not be taken seriously. In the comments section of SolidSport, one commentator already had time to evaluate Tappara’s new Czech confirmations as hoods.

In any case, even after the opening match, it is clear that HIFK will be the overwhelming champion favorite of the upcoming league season. Helsinkiläisten Miro Karjalainen leaves the season as a winner of the Defenders Point Exchange.
