Kraken forward Kakko told NHL writer Geoff Baker that hockey is everything in Finland and the games will have huge interest. He added he had always wanted to play in front of his family and friends there.
Tickets become available Tuesday, March 31, at 4 a.m. EST, with Hurricanes and Kraken fans able to book all-inclusive tour packages including airfare, hotel, game tickets, and optional excursions.
The Helsinki games represent another step in the NHL Global Series' effort to grow hockey internationally, with additional details to be released as organizers finalize arrangements.
