The day was dominated by the SM-liiga ice hockey final, with Tappara winning the championship in a dramatic seventh game against KooKoo. The victory was immediately followed by the breaking of the Kanada-malja trophy during celebrations, a mishap covered extensively across outlets. Earlier in the day, the Joona Räsänen DUI story unfolded, with the SDP MP admitting to drinking before driving and facing party consequences. Other stories included the Apotti system driving away doctors, a bear euthanized in Sonkajärvi, and a grill kiosk controversy in Ruovesi. Eurovision coverage continued but was secondary to the hockey final.
