We managed to catch one of the best players in the world, Mika Kohonen, during the hectic play off season in Sweden.

Hi Mika. How long is your floorball career and what are the top 3 moments?
15-16 years on the top level in Finland and Sweden. 13 years in the National Team. My top 3 moments are: winning the Swedish Championship with Balrog IBK in 2004, the floorball boom in Jyväskylä, Finland in 2004-2005 and obviously winning the World Championship with an incredible team in 2008.

Who is the most dangerous player in Team Sweden and why?
Magnus Svensson. He's used to clinching inportant games.

Who is the funny man in Team Finland?
Our physiotherapist Hannu Tuunainen.

Which country will take everyone by surprise in WFC2010?
Estonia.

What does Mika Kohonen have for breakfast on a gameday?
I have to admit, I'm ridiculously bad with having breakfast. When we're on training camps though, I have to have a proper breakfast. A few slices of bread, and egg, fruit salad, juice and a cup of coffee.

Song, that you need hear before a game?
Lots of different ones. Just a few examples are Toto: Home of the Brave, Misfits: Dig Up Her Bones, The Outfield: Your Love.

Greetings to the fans?
Welcome to the Magical Games, make some noise!
