USA Hockey article today on player Ryan Lasch who grew up in California, played college hockey in Minnesota, and is now playing for the Lahti Pelicans of the Finnish SM-Liiga. Ryan not only wore the “golden helmet” as points leader in the league, but is blending well off the ice as well. Taking in his time in Finland, Ryan relates: “Maybe the biggest thing about their culture is the sauna. They love their saunas and now naturally, being here nine months, I love the saunas too.”

Saunas really are great, aren’t they? It’s something the Scandinavian countries have known for centuries, and a practice that, thankfully, is slowly making it’s way into American culture. Glad he’s enjoying them!
