Everyone can’t wait to see what Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen will bring to the table in his first NHL season. But amidst all the hype and excitement surrounding the Finnish teenager, many people tend to forget that he is, in fact, a Finnish teenager, one who is now living on his own for the first time... in a foreign country... where very few people speak his native language...
Thankfully, he’ll have some help in adjusting to life in Texas and North America as a whole. In addition to Heiskanen, the Stars have three other Finns on the roster: Esa Lindell, Julius Honka, and Roope Hintz.
