Finland's top division, Naisten Liiga, will drop the puck for a weekend long season opening tournament on September 6. The league however, has lost significant talent.

Naisten Liiga Set To Drop The Puck September 6

Talented young defenceman Mason Lohrei was very effective in a top four role with the Bruins last season. Lohrei contributed as a reliable puck-carrying defenceman in Boston’s lineup. He earned a spot with the team for half of the regular season games and most of the playoffs. During his time with Boston, he was capable of earning minutes on the teams’ powerplay. As well as in their overtime lineup. He also played 21 games for the Providence Bruins. The 23-year-old prospect hopes to earn back his top four role with Boston next season. The expectation is to develop parts of his game that need to be improved. Lohrei possesses strong upper-body strength. However, he needs to improve on gaining speed and lateral movement in the offensive and defensive zones. With left-handed defenceman Matt Grzelcyk signing in Pittsburgh, a spot in Boston’s defensive core seems pretty secure for the young defencemen.

Kate Martin, a former Iowa Hawkeyes player now with the Las Vegas Aces, emphasizes the significant differences between NCAA and WNBA basketball. While expectations for Caitlin Clark to dominate in the WNBA were high, Martin highlights the increased physicality and faster pace in the professional league as key challenges. Both players have had to adapt their playing styles; Martin noted that in the WNBA, "everybody is my size, and like faster," requiring adjustments similar to those faced during their transitions to college basketball.
