Experienced ice hockey coach Sakari “Sakke” Pietilä, 71, was over two years ago in a serious electric kick -off, which still affects his life today.
Nonetheless, Pietilä arrived on Thursday, September 18 at the opening of the Oktoberfest in Helsinki with a smile. He says he is doing “just fine” at the moment.
– Even though I have these sticks, day by day I feel better. After all, this rehabilitation is like this, I’m in almost as bad shape as our athletics at that race, Pietilä carves with a laugh.
– I took the summer in peace when my back was cut. I just watched that there was a disabled table here where I could dance, he continues.

Pietilä has a solution -oriented short therapist training. When asked by Pietilä if the physical ailments are on the mind, he ponders for a moment.
– I don’t know, I’m usually a pretty positive person. But of course I would rather go to the samba carnival to dance than I would have, looking at Pietilä inch of his elbows.
In addition to rehabilitation, Pietilä intends to continue the therapist’s work. He also has a holiday trip to Turkey.
Pietilä is a passionate bench athlete today. He says he woke up on Thursday morning before half past six to watch volleyball. Pietilä has also followed Susijeng’s achievements and the opening of the League regular season.
At the time of the interview, the situation is that Ilves, coached by Pietilän, has not won any match. Nevertheless, Pietilä believes, and above all, hopes that Ilves could win the league.
He also highlights Ilves’ main opponent Tappara.
-Five and a half years in Ilves in Tampere, so there is always an anger relationship. But yes, this goes to Ilves, Pietilä concludes.
