Captain Tappara Otto Rauhalan the most sensitive moment came five minutes after lifting the Canada Cup. He got his wife Eveliina Rauhalan embrace. The eight-year-old couple is about to have a child in four weeks, so the excitement didn’t end on a golden Thursday night.
– Regarding having children, Otto said that it is worth watching these games at all, Eveliina Rauhala laughed.
Otto Rauhala is one of the best team players in the Finnish Championship. He never plays in his own bag. The wife said the man is similar in and out of the trough.
– Otto is the best and kind of specialist. When there is a tense place for everyone, he stays calm. Otto is really humble and does his best for the team, not for himself. He always thinks of others before himself, Eveliina Rauhala tears.
Tappara’s laborer got the letter C on his chest in the summer. The very first season as captain brought the championship.
– It’s insanely great that he’s allowed to be a captain. When Otto was elected, he could not think so far. It was only thought that one day at a time in a new role.
Rauhala raised the former captain to the air in the Canadian bowl Jukka Peltolan with. Peltola’s shirt now has the letter A. He skippered Tappara’s gold in 2016 and 2017.
– Fortunately, Jukka agreed to lift the cup after a little persuasion. That decision was pretty clear to me.
The Tappara skipper is known as a violent player who rarely loses battles. However, he shared the title of the strongest man on the team elsewhere.
– I’m nowhere near the strongest. Mikael Seppälä is number one. The Jari Kurri award went to the right man, ie To Jonah Luodo, but it could have gone to Seppälä too. He did not lose a single fight in the players.
What kind of journey has this been?
– There’s been room for it. CHL, change of government and so on. Today we showed what a gang we are.
