From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FoPS Flames gained some negative news after a former SM-Liiga and Forssan Palloseura defenseman Timo Willman assaulted an opposing player during a 3rd Division game in 2007
Most famous FPS figures are former NHL-coach Alpo Suhonen and player Mika Helkearo who is nicknamed the "Divarin Gretzky" (Gretzky of the 1st Division) from his virtually unbreakable Mestis records in games, assists and points.
