Nation Network 2017 Prospect Profile: #31 – Urho Vaakanainen

Related Topics: Wrist shot

Urho Vaakanainen, best known by Hockey Twitter for his name autotranslating to Urho Libra Female, fell from scouts’ good graces throughout the season.

Vaakanainen has been on the scouting seen for quite some while putting up impressive stat lines in Finland’s junior levels at 15 and 16-years-of-age. However, Urho struggled this season, putting up a similar stat line in nearly double the games as his previous season.

The once ranked mid-first round left-shot defender now sits early in the second with most third-party prospect sites and with our Nations Network Prospect Series, but he is still one to watch out for.
