Now in Jokerit playing admits, that Jokerit is one of the best teams in the Europe, if not the best.

- I hope we will have good season and we will win the cup and I could go back to the NHL.

Rosa thinks that Helsinki is good place for a hockeyplayer to get toughts out of hockey, because in Helsinki is lots of stuff to do, compering to Hämeenlinna.

RECORD BREAKER

His career Rosa started in Litvinov(CZE), where he played untill 18 and after that he went to Norht-America try his luck.

- It was my braivest thing, what I have done, when I left home. It was tuff, but I made it.

In Hull QMJHL he played two seasons and he succeded very well, as the two seasons 161 games Pavel scored 141 goals. He won also Memorial thorpy, wich is give to Canadian best junior hockeyteam.

In 1995 he was draft to Los Angeles Kings owerall 50. player.

In season 1996-97 Pavel made new record by making umbelievable 153 points in 68 games.

His best memory from the junior years is, when he was 16 and could play hole season in same lineup with his brother.

NHL IS NOT FAIR BUSINESS

Rosa played his first NHL game in december 17th 1998 against NY Islanders and he couldnt have got better start in that game, because he scored in that game two goals.

Rosa is saying his best lineup was, when he played in L.A Kings with Josef Stümpel and Luc Robitaille. Pavel Rosa assisted also Luc Robitailles 500. goal.

Player who Rosa appreciate most of is Luc Robitaille.

- He is great player, but also umbelivble friend, who helps everybody out.

Rosan thinks best goalie in the NHL is Colorados Patrik Roy, defencemen is Rob Blake and forward is Joe Sakic.

Playing in the NHL was just like I was dreamed about, hole life around, that atmosphere in the arena. There is also the business side, wich is not fair for lots of good players says, Rosa.

REFEREES ARE BETTER THIS YEAR

Rosa thinks SM-leagues best players are from Jokerit and goalie is Jamie Ram, forward Ville Peltonen and defenceman is Tom Koivisto.

I think referees has improved their job, since last year.

They do allright, though it is not their profesional job and if some player has favorite referee, then it is a problem.

In the practice Rosa hates most of all to skate with out the puck, but he admits to do it willingly, because he knows that is good for him and does it saying anything.

Rosa says his best sides are playing with the puck, shooting the puck and scoring goals and worst sides are skating adn improve a littlebit defenceplay.

- For succeded forward have to be hungry, exspecially for the opponents net and try to get all loose pucks, wich are near opponent goal and shoot them inside, but you have to know also to play good defenceplay.

Rosa says his greates goal was in juniors.

- It was last game of playoffs and game was tied to 4-4 and I scored, time was left only 5 seconds so we won the cup.

FANS HAVE BEEN FRIENDLY

- In Czech team is much more passes and they like to come own defence area and start all ower again, when in Jokerit we attack and just shoot the puck and go after.

Rosa was already long time waited to get chanse to play for Czech national team.

- It was shame, that Finland was the first opponet, agains I played, because I was really pumped up to that game. I was really happy that I could score right in the begin.

Rosa plays hockey, because it sattisfy him.

- Right away in the second place is fans, if there woun't be fans we just could pack our stuff and go home to play and find some other jobs. I respeckt all the fans, where ever I play. They have been for me really friendly and I hope they will be in the future too.

Rosa likes a lot Finnish fans, because they are different then norh-American fans.

- Finish fans have fan clubs and they cheer team hole game. I think it is lot better then in norht-Anerica and it is nice to see that same group comes every game.

Only few people reconize Rosa at the street.

- It feels good and it is my job, exspecially for the children to be example and they come it is great to give hockey card, autograph or just talk to them.

Rosa's greetings for fans:

- I hope, that you continue cheering for us and I can assure you, that we do everything to get you sattisfy. I hope we will win the cup to Helsinki.
