Why there is Suomi-company (http://www.suomi-yhtio.fi/default.htm) ad in team logo? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.186.176.154 (talk) 13:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suomi is Finnish for Finland. Patken4 03:15, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

of course, but this "Suomi" text is paid ad! it is not national team's official logo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.186.173.111 (talk) 17:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're mistaken. "Sumoi" is not a paid text ad. It is the Finnish word for "Finland". It appears on the jerseys of the national team along with the "Finland"-capped golden lion. The link you quote above has little to do with "Suomi" as such; it is some random web page of some random Finnish company that just happens to use the word "Suomi" (which makes sense; Suomi being Finnish for Finland). You're wrong to delete the "Suomi" image from the national team's page. It is added information, graphically, of the native Finnish word for Finland.

I must say that there is a point in the original question whether Suomi is a paid ad or not, since I remember that this new kind of jersey started to first appear a couple of years ago soon after that very Suomi company started to sponsor the Finnish team, and the text on the jersey was only a minor deviation from actually having the company's logo as used in some practice matches etc. (Before that, the jersey simply had the word "SUOMI" in the central lion shield, and it didn't say "Finland" anywhere at all). However, the Suomi company obviously doesn't sponsor them anymore; at least it isn't even mentioned on the Finnish hockey association's website. (Logos of the current sponsors: http://www.finhockey.fi/info/yhteistyokumppanit/) So, I dare to say that if it ever was paid ad, it sure as hell isn't anymore. user:Ville Moilanen 03:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suomi is neither a paid nor an unpaid ad. It's just the Finnish word for Finland. There has not been such a thing as "that very Suomi company" sponsoring the Finnish team. Simply, the Finnish team had Finland spelled out on their jersey in their own language! Now they have it in both English and Finnish. There has never been, to my knowledge, a commercial sponsor's name on the Finnish national jersey. -- Mareklug ^talk 14:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am Finnish myself, and I clearly remember this as it was only a couple of years ago. Suomi company was sponsoring the team, and they had the biggest logo ad on Team Finland's non-IIHF jersey at the time. So, it is arguable that the usage of the text — or more precicely the font used — on the IIHF jersey, may or may have not have been paid by the company. I'm not claiming that they ever did, but I'm pointing out facts why it just might be so. Ville Moilanen 15:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hockeyfinlandfederation.PNG[edit]

Image:Hockeyfinlandfederation.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Lake Placid 1980[edit]

As the Finland team was the opponent for the Americans in their gold medal clinching 1980 "Miracle" team which had previously defeated the Soviet Union in that tournament, at least two things deserve mention. One was that the above game took place; the other would be how that they were in this game but wound up finishing fourth and out of the medals. This would not be possible in the current format so briefly touching on the formats of international play and their changes over time would be good, while still leaving the focus on the article where it really belongs. 2600:1004:B142:AFCB:0:9:482B:9A01 (talk) 21:32, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The players playing for the teams are outdated[edit]

There are players no longer on the former teams and are now currently in another team for Finland. UltraJackNotEvenFound (talk) 14:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
