Fly fishermen on the Äyskoski rapids in central Finland were in for a pleasant surprise when they realized who they are sharing the famous catch and release stretch with. Film actor and Vision world team member Jasper Pääkkönen had taken his two friends on a two night fishing trip to the famous trout fishing destination. And not just any friends - these fellows, Mikael Granlund and Janne Pesonen were the stars of the 2011 ice hockey World Championship team of Finland. Granlund, the 19 year old ice hockey prodigy, scored the most talked about goal of the games in the semifinals against Russia.
