Pasi Nielikäinen (born February 11, 1974, Oulainen, Finland) is a former professional ice hockey player.
Playing career
Nielikäinen has played for numerous teams in the Finnish SM-liiga; these include Kärpät, HIFK and HPK.
Nielikäinen also played one season in East Coast Hockey League for the Miami Matadors and one season for the British team the Manchester Storm.[1]
Style of play
Nielikäinen is not a usual Finnish hockey player when it comes to playing. Nielikäinen is known for serving as an enforcer for his team.[2] Nielikäinen also is not shy when it comes to dropping gloves and scrapping on the ice.
Nielikäinen's most famous rivalries include the one with fellow SM-liiga player Sami Helenius and his single fight against NHL-enforcer Ryan Vandenbusche in the 2005/06 season for which HIFK and Jokerit got fined 15.000 euros/team.[3]
Off the ice
Nielikäinen is married to former Finnish Beauty contestant Jenni Nielikäinen (née Anttila)
