The Finnish Ice Hockey Association is expecting over 3 000 Canadian fans to attend the semifinal between Team Finland and Team Sweden in the World Junior Championship in Helsinki on Monday. The Swedes may be anxious because some of the Canadians are rooting for Finland.

Before

Before. Alex Smith, Nic Rusak, Adam Chambers and Jason Verhelst believed in Team Canada. That was before Team Finland beat their team in the half semis.

Hakkaa päälle Suomen poika! Canadians are chanting in the hotel lobby of Radisson Blu Plaza Helsinki. 

That's a Finnish chant. After Team Canada's disappointing exit, Alex Smith, Jason Verhelst, Nic Rusak and Adam Chambers believe it's time to cheer for Finland.

After

After. The fellows got a brand new look. Rusak also wanted a Finnish jersey but there were none left.

Tuukka Rask is one of my favourite players, Chambers rejoices, when handed out the Finnish goalie's Team Finland jersey.

– I feel like a champion! says Verhelst.

Maybe that's a sign. Poika saunoo!
