On Tuesday, Tappara’s head coach Kari Jalonen criticized the playing conditions at Pelicans’ home arena in an interview with SuomiKiekko. There was a lot of water on the ice at the beginning of the second and third periods.

– Yes, there was a bit of commentary about that. In my opinion, the league should take care of these things to ensure the ice is in good condition so that we can play quality hockey. It’s essential, Jalonen commented.

Pelicans’ head coach Sami Kapanen commented on the matter in his Instagram story in English.

– Your thoughts after the opposing coaches criticize the quality of the ice and you have to play half of your games on it and practice on it daily, Kapanen says, smiling in the picture.

Next, games will be played at the Lahti Wemasto Arena on Saturday. Pelicans will face JYP then.
