- The opponent was a really tough team and a bit better than us at the game, but neither team managed to create very many goals. For many players this was their first appearance at HIFK this winter, so it was important for them to have valuable playing time. All in all, we've had some good training here, but this game left a lot to be improved, head coach Tor Thodesen said after the match.
