I think all hotels are expensive in Helsinki but I'm sure someone out there can help you out with the hotels. But don't worry, the price of beer is now cheaper in Finland than in Canada!
By the way, do you need an extra player? My brother is 50 and lives in Montreal, speaks Finnish and has played lots of oldtimer hockey, even with ex-NHLers. I could pm his cell phone number for you.

I have a new question ,my friends overseas.In Canada ,it's more easy for us to have vacation in october or november.What's Helsinki look like in this period of year.Is it still very interresting to go there during those month.I know that the days are getting shorter

In 2002 ,we were at Memphis bar and it was the first time of my life that i saw the sun rise at 4:00am in the morning.it was a shock for us.It was in may.We cannot forget the Hot Dog s with 2 sausage in it.wow.

What's Helsinki look like in this period of year

The weather is roughly the same as in Montreal except its more dreary. Darker, colder and wetter, and hockey is in full swing.
