Wikipedia - KalPa Naiset
Kalevan Pallo Naiset (lit. 'Kaleva's Ball Women'), abbreviated as KalPa Naiset, are an ice hockey team in the Naisten Liiga (NSML). Founded in 1990, the team plays in Kuopio, the largest city in Finland's eastern-central province of North Savo, at the Kuopion jäähalli (unofficially known as Niiralan Monttu or Niirala); Lippumäen jäähalli serves as a secondary venue. The team won the Finnish Championship (SM) silver medal in 2021, and have won four SM bronze medals, in 1995, 1996, 2017, and 2023.
History
In 2020, the team qualified for the Aurora Borealis Cup playoff final and were set to face the reigning champions, Kiekko-Espoo, when the playoffs were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic before the first game of the finals. By making it to the playoff finals, KalPa was guaranteed at least a silver medal, which would have been the highest finish in team history to that point, but with the cancellation of the season no Finnish Championship (SM) medals were awarded.
KalPa Women is known for its strong defensive play and aggressive style of play. The team's roster is made up of talented players from Finland and other countries, including Canada, the United States, and Sweden. The team's captain is Finnish forward Jenni Hiirikoski, who is also a member of the Finnish national team.
KalPa Women has won several championships and awards over the years, including the Naisten Liiga championship in 2018 and 2019. The team has also produced several talented players who have gone on to play for the Finnish national team and in professional leagues around the world.
Overall, KalPa Women is a highly respected and competitive team in the world of women's ice hockey, known for its skilled players, strong team culture, and commitment to excellence on and off the ice.
