SSV Helsinki is Finland’s champion again. SSV won the title after it swept Tapanilan Erä away with three victories in a row. While Helsinki was defeated six times during regular season it didn’t have any real opponents during the play-offs. SSV celebrated nine wins in nine matches. The old and new champion is famous for its stars. Many of them were part of the Finnish World Champion Team of Prague 2008. But SSV is also famous for its small fanbase. In contrast to the most of the other matches, the last game of the final series was seen by a large crowd. 2350 fans saw the Vikings win over Erä.
