Mika is it Finnish or Swedish?


Mika Zibanejad. Is his first name Finnish or Swedish?

I think he looks like a big, strong, skilled, dangerous, hockey playing Iranian Shiite, in a complementary way. As a nick name he will probably become known as the "Ayatollah" and again in a good way reflecting his force and mental toughness.

The Ayatollah's strength in his big legs and hind quarters reminds us of Ed Hatoum, very strong lower body, very strong on his skates.

Watch this man develop.
