History

Finland claimed bronze at the 2017 Women's Inline Hockey European Championship in Boskovice, Czech Republic, the team's first medal in international competition. The roster featured a number of players from the Finnish national ice hockey team, including captain Minttu Tuominen, Annina Rajahuhta, and Susanna Tapani, among others. Aino Karppinen was Finland's top point scorer, earning thirteen points across six games.[2][3]
