Back before his NHL stardom, you could find 14-year old current Carolina Hurricanes star forward Teuvo Teravainen at other places than just the rink. Teravainen, following in his parents footsteps, loved playing floorball, which is very similar to ball hockey.
It looks like it worked. It’s safe to say, that he got pretty good. Teravainen is from an athletic family. His parents are avid floorball players. His 17-year old sister, Satu, plays hockey professionally in the women’s Liiga.
