Loimu Warrior

It's been an interesting year so far to say the least. With no snow until the middle of December and the amount of games increased, its been different and a struggle at times for us, trying to find consistency within such a great year, full of strong teams. One thing hasn't changed though, our ability to come to the training with high spirits and ready to out work the rest of the league. Which can be and has been personified by one person, that guy being #5, Mr. Rumpunen.

Since, I set foot in Kerttula last year, till now, Ossi has personified in what our team is trying to do this year and that is to outwork the competition. Coming in the gym every day, no matter how his day was outside Kerttula, finding and giving all the energy he has for the training period. Even though frustration and pessimism has leaked its way into our locker room, time after time, he has lead with his actions, in the training hall, up lifting the spirit of the team and leading with his efforts, fueling our training environment and in my mind one of the huge reasons, that we have been so successful in 5 game matches this year. We still have a lot of work to go, to get where we want to be but I am sure of it, we are all capable of the work and are ready for the challenge, especially #5.

Being apart of Loimu, one of things I have found I've enjoyed the much, is the passion that everyone who puts on a orange and black jersey comes to play with, especially Ossi. Below, you can see how important he is to the success of our team, not only with his play but with his on court attitude. But to any Loimu fan, its just the standard they have become accustomed to, having the pleasure to have Ossi on their side, personifying the pride in wearing the black and orange

Until next time,
