About Northern Gaels HC

Northern Gaels (formerly Lahti Gaels) was formed in the summer of 2001 by a misguided Irishman attempting to introduce a new sport to Finland.
The club is currently based around the Lahti - Hyvinkää area with ambitions of spreading to more cities in Finland.
The club is always seeking new members and membership is open to all, male or female of any nationality or religion.

Training normally takes place in Hyvinkää on sunday afternoons but the club is hoping to start regular training soon in Lahti.

Where are we?
