Finland: All Star Team dominated by Kuopio Steelers
Graphic: Igor Lazarevic
Finland’s seven Maple League teams have voted for an All Star squad featuring the top players in their positions in the country.
Not surprisingly, the unbeaten Kuopio Steelers have dominated the list with 10 players selected for the 26 spots available on offense, defense and special teams. The next closest teams were the Helsinki Wolverines and Porvoo Butchers who each had four players selected. The Seinäjoki Crocodiles, Kotka Eagles, United Newland Crusaders and Helsinki Roosters all had two players picked from each team.
