The family of the Finnish hero was able to join the golden celebration.

Having scored the Lions’ World Cup winning goal Konsta Helenius father Tero answers the phone in his hotel room.
He says that the gold party lasted until the wee hours of the morning.
– The party went very well. The night was a bit short, the man mumbles.
– Some still stayed, but we left with the biggest group. The clock struck three or four.
Helenius’ parents and two brothers were able to join the journey of the Golden Lions during the Zurich night. According to Tero Helenius, the world championship party was held “in some kind of restaurant space”.
The event was memorable.
– That’s what it was. You certainly won’t experience these things as new right away. And it can’t come, Helenius adds and says that the achievement of the offspring hasn’t really sunk into his consciousness yet.
– Yes, I guess when you get started on this and open your eyes properly, you start to understand. But he still doesn’t understand what the boy did and what really happened yesterday.
According to the father, the celebration of Finland’s twenty-year-old golden hero was quite elegant.
– In a smile, it was there the whole time. Yes, he knew how to calmly and nicely take joy out of it.
“A jug home and a watch on your wrist”
Father gave Konsta Helenius a pithy call during the finale. In addition to the World Cup gold, the order included a role in which the troops are led from the front.
– The boy kept his promise. I sent him a message during the day that the jug was home and the watch was on my wrist. That’s what happened.
In the World Cup competitions, the best player of the match is awarded with a prestigious Tissot watch.
Becoming a solution player did not come as a surprise to the father, because he has always known that the Buffalo Sabres’ first reserve can be at his best in big games.
Now we got proof of that in overtime of the World Cup final in 70:42, when the puck shot by Helenius surprised the Swiss goalkeeper Leonardo Genoni.
– As he himself has said, he is not really a man of slapping games, Tero Helenius blurts out.
Mom passed out

After Konsta Helenius’ winning goal, a dramatic situation happened in the stands, when mother Maiju fainted.
Tero Helenius is already laughing at the coincidence.
– That’s what happened. He quickly jumped to his feet and passed out.
– Quickly he token. I didn’t even notice that he passed out. At first I thought someone from behind pushed him down. Then passed out there. Fortunately, nothing happened.
About that IS was the first to report.
