Finland conscripts its young men into at least six months of service - including professional athletes.
Of course, there are others - like Ville Pokka, in Rockford - and this will apply to them as well. You see, Finland is a conscription nation. All able-bodied Finnish men must serve at least six months in the military by the time they turn 30, and that practice applies to professional athletes.
Finnish reporter Juha Hiitelä tweeted that the Penguins' Olli Maatta - who's only a couple of weeks older than Teravainen - will begin his military service this off-season.
