Team Finland support staff

Ari Hulden: Team Finland Social Coach. Huli, as he is known most everywhere, first represented Finland as a player at the HWC held in South Africa. Since then he has attended every HWC. He is a fan of football and Swedish detective novels with Martin Beck. Huli hopes that the Team Finland in Paris will have good spirit as a team and that each of them will enjoy the time and become better friends. He hopes they will bring home many good memories and new friendships to bring power to their lives.

Edi Helkamo: Team Finland Rock and Roll Coach. Edi, who is from Kerava or Sherwood as he calls it, is joining Team Finland for the first time as part of the support staff. He traveled as a fan to HWC Copenhagen and Milan. He wants to be able to help the team keep up their good spirits and to encourage them when they are down. He is proud to be part of Team Finland and thanks Maukka, Huli, Timo and Petri for making it possible. If you meet him, be sure to ask about Elvis!
