The correct answer: Aki Bergin the picture on the top right. The man of Southwest Finland lit 606 regular season matches on the back lines of Los Angeles and Toronto in the NHL.
Berg’s story is exceptional. Hardly ever ever, after a career, a player who has been merged has made a career of more than a decade as a guardian.
Berg has been a hockey league club since 2012-13. He was washed into the Finnish national team for the same job for the 2014-15 season.
Companion
Berg receives interview requests at a steady pace. The answer is always the same. No thanks.
This was also the case in 4 Nations tournaments in Montréal when Iltalehti asked Berg for an interview through the Lions backing troops.
– I don’t think he can easily talk about him, the Lions Kaapo Kakko Said and laughed after Finnish workouts.
23-year-old Kakko, who has played just over half of the number of Berg’s NHL matches, knows Berg from his own TPS. Kakko and Berg also live close together in Finland.
– I didn’t have to get to know this tournament when quite well known.
According to Kako, Berg “definitely does not want” to go to the media anymore to answer the questions.
– He’s still a really talkative and funny guy, a companion. I understand that he no longer has too much call here.

However, Berg’s name has not disappeared from the hockey rollers. Daughter Nella Berg20, plays the defender on TPS and has also cleared its way to the women’s national team.

Kakko says he talks to Berg, among other things, about TPS’s recent extracts and how “in Turku works.”
Also the Lions striker Joel Army Speaks about Berg warmly.
– A great guy. He does his job on the last one and is a bit of a guy that never takes any big role. But he does anything ever asks.
