Sanni Hakala and her wife, Danny Stone

Finnish national team player and HV71 captain Sanni Hakala was severely injured in a collision with a goal post during a Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) match last month. The accident left her paralyzed from the chest down, ending her ice hockey playing career and presenting many new challenges.

The Metropolitan Riveters have signed Finnish forward Susanna Tapani to a one year deal for the 2023–24 PHF season

"Susanna will be a difference maker in the PHF," said Rivs head coach Venla Hovi. "She is an experienced Finnish Olympian and one of the best forwards in the world. Suski is an offensive threat due to her ability to make plays and her speed makes her tough to handle on rushes. She will lead the team by example and her humble, calm presence will be an asset for us in the locker room."
