Henri Tamminen ended his season by receiving a match penalty in the fifth and decisive semifinal of the northern hockey league. The visiting team Lindlöven won the game 2-0. Tamminen was penalized halfway through the second period after video review for crosschecking.
He chose to leave the ice in a very special way, without skates on his feet. He untied his skates, hung them on his stick, and walked across the ice. Tamminen said his head was boiling.

He told Aftonbladet that every time officials review something in this league, you know you will be ejected. When he saw they were taking some time, he had time to untie his skates. He said it was quite cold but it went well anyway, and he kept his mouth shut against the officials, focusing on not falling.
He slipped a little but blamed his socks, saying they were a bit wet and stuck to the ice. In the final, Lindlöven will face Hudiksvall.
