This was Kari Heino’s 11th season of audio engineering the NHL (National Hockey League) broadcasts for Viaplay (since 2013). The season concluded with the yearly Stanley Cup Finals, this time between Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers the 8th – 24th of June 2024.

The finals were really intense, as all the best of seven games were played, with Edmonton making a huge comeback after being down 0-3, finally resulting in 4-3 to Florida. It was a great time watching both the Finnish and Swedish star players in their respective teams!
