Valterri Viitakoski is the #1 forward for Team Canada — lining up alongside his brother-in-arms Pavel Barber.
Together, they recently defeated the USA at the Americas Qualifier and punched Canada's ticket to the Men's World Floorball Championships in Tampere, Finland this December. 🇨🇦🌍
If that wasn't enough — VV just won a championship with Nokian KrP in the Finnish F-Liiga, arguably the most exciting professional floorball league on the planet. The man wins everywhere he goes.
His résumé doesn't stop there. Represented Team Finland in Ball Hockey. Excelled at the highest levels of Ice Hockey. His father Vesa Viitakoski played in the NHL for the Calgary Flames. Hockey is literally in his blood.
But here's what makes VV extraordinary beyond the trophies and the titles —
He conquered cancer as a young child, when the odds weren't in his corner. He came back. He became elite. He became a champion father. And now he's here — bringing every ounce of that fight, that joy, and that mastery — to help us grow this game.
VV doesn't just play hockey without limits. He lives it.
Watch for an incredible series of training videos, skill breakdowns, and inspirational content dropping soon. Whether you're chasing your first goal or your next championship — VV is going to show you what's possible with a stick, a ball, and an unbreakable will.
We are not just honoured to have VV on this team. We are fired up.
Welcome to Team Hockeyball, Valtteri. 🙌
Let's go take on the world. 🏆🇨🇦
