Husky safari

Yesterday, I participated in an activity organized by Kamo (the association of my university). We went to the ski resort the closest to Kajaani, situated at 30 minutes approximately: Vuokatti. We were a group of about twenty international students to go to make of the sled dog.

I adored this activity, I was passenger and I also have driven the sled. At the beginning, I dreaded little to manage dogs as well as sled, but the learning is rather easily made. Besides we had a great good weather, with a magnificent sun, I had a great time!

The last hockey match of the season in Kajaani (subject 4)

On Saturday, March 11th at 5:00 pm, I went to see with my friends the last hockey match of the season for the local team, the Hokki. The match took place in the ice rink covered of Kajaani, situated in a few minutes on foot of my campus.

Previously, I had already seen hockey matches in Canada and in France, I had adored the atmosphere, but it was the first time when I saw one in Finland.

I was surprised seeing so many spectators in the ice rink of Kajaani because I never see a lot of people in town. I think that hockey matches are events very important for the Finnish families.

 The full name of the club is Kajaanin Hokki. The team is in the second-highest ice hockey league in Finland, named “Mestis”. Hokki are composed of Finnish professionals but also international players.

Hokki was not very well placed in the classification but the team managed to beat the team of Turku (however better classified): 2-1.

The team of hockey of Kajaani finished the season, 11th on 13 in the Mestis classification.

I crossed a great moment, there was a good atmosphere but it's too bad that the teams have no mascots. It is much more fun during half-time! 😀
