Juha Jarvenpaa
Profile Contributed By: Pekka Lampinen
History
2006-07: Järvenpää has always had to fight for attention on the Finnish national team deep in goalies. In the end, in the fight for a spot in the U18 World Championships, he could beat only one of his three competitors and was left out. Järvenpää had to settle with an international showcase of only a handful of games over the season, in which he did perform admirably. Back home with the Ässät Jr A team, the results of his play didn’t stand out quite that much, but his technical development was solid.
Talent Analysis
Järvenpää isn’t the most composed of Finnish hybrid style goalies, but he does have the makings to develop game-breaking potential. Giving him a chance to stop each shot, his quick legs keep him up with the game, whereas his coordination needs improvement. Another area that needs to develop is his arms, especially the blocker side. Järvenpää isn’t a very big goalie, so he needs all the technique he can learn in order to cover the net efficiently.
Future
Järvenpää still needs quite a lot of time in
