Mikko Huttunen, Pete “Mr. U” Utschig and Devon Stutz will be hosting a pro day at our training field in Tuusula on Friday, July 9th 2010 from 12.00 to 17.00 (5 PM). Due to the time constraints, the number of participants is also limited to ensure proper attention to each. We can only take 20 participants in total, and there are only a few places left!

Victorious at last!
Five years.
That’s a long time by any standard. For a team that has been almost completely rebuilt and then nourished in the shadow of past success, it’s a long time to struggle for those rare rays of light. Already at the end of last season we felt that we are definitely on the right path, and the team headed into the off-season with a clear goal to make the last push to the top. A lot of hard work has been put in, the countless hours of practises have finally started to pay dividends. Helsinki Cyclone won again.
First report from Bitburg
I just got a report from Bitburg so here goes…
The third game of Malaga was played this morning against Empire Venice. As expected it was a tight one. Cyclone managed to score the first points taking the game to 2-0 but after regrouping the Empire boys tied the game to 2-2 plus took the next point to 2-3. Cyclone tied the game again to 3-3. Empire managed to get a great break to the last point and took the win 3-4.
It seems that our guys are going to have game packed weekend since although they lost their game they’re still going to go through to the “Sunday club”. The Malaga tournament had so few teams that actually got there that an extra 6 teams go through to the last 16. Cyclone is one of them and their next game is against FiveStar Lleida. After that they’ll start the Bitburg tournament and play against FiveStar Lleida again but this time on a different field.
Tomorrows opponents are going to be the Danish Copenhagen Synergy and Dogs D Amour Thessaloniki from Greece.
Playing with the Big Boys
It’s again time to start packing the good old Explorer and prepare for a tournament weekend, as we have done so many times before. Most of us have seen countless tournaments on various levels of competition in Finland, Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe. A handful of us have even made the trip across the great water to play the official PSP Race-to format. Still, when the opportunity to participate in the Paintball Swedish Masters in Uppsala, we took it in a heartbeat. The Open division offers a team list that is something like playing a round of golf with Tiger Woods..
Yee-haw!
Our brainless zombie following on Facebook keeps on growing, we’re just a few short of stepping into the 300′s! Thanks to all of you!
"Good golly, we be havin' ourselves a mighty nice pile of fans!" -"Well ain't that something special?"
Malaga Pictures Up
After struggling with the poor web connections of our Spanish cribs, we were finally able to post up some pictures from the Fuengirola Beach cup. You’ve all seen the pictures of the rough seas and suffering tents, so none of that this time. See below for a few pics that are also links to the galleries:
WinterCup: Cyclone finishes 2nd in the series!
Last sunday was the time for the final leg of WinterCup 2010 at Splash Arena, Tuusula, Finland. Before the last leg we were leading the series with Tri
voga, both tied with the same points and we were the only two teams to really compete for the title. Well, sunday wasn’t our day but we still managed to get in to the semifinals and faced Trivoga. So the semifinal game was all about winning the series and this time Trivoga was a bit better and won the game 2-3. Trivoga lost the final game against Urho Musta and we won PPW Mad in the bronze game. The third place was enough for us to take the second place in the series…
Anyway this was a good practice to us for the summer and I promise we will come back stronger!
Big ups for all our opponents, our supporters and the organizers of the Winter Cup 2010!
