Sanni Hakala (born 31 October 1997) is a Finnish ice hockey player with HV71 Dam of the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) and the Finnish national team.[1]
Playing career
As a youth player, Hakala played on boys' teams until she was 15, at which point she signed with JYP Jyväskylä in the Naisten SM-sarja, the top flight of Finnish women's hockey.[2] She won the Emma Laaksonen Award for Fair Play in the 2015–16 season.
In November 2016, she left Finland to sign with HV71 in the SDHL.[3] She was named HV71's fan player of the year for the 2019–20 season.[4]
After missing the first third of the 2020-21 SDHL season, she scored a hat-trick in her first game back, a 6-1 victory over Brynäs IF in November 2020.[5]
International play
She made her senior national team debut at the 2016 IIHF Women's World Championship.[6] She has represented the Finnish national team at the World Championships every year since, including the team's first ever silver medal at the 2019 IIHF Women's World Championship. She scored one goal in six games as Finland won bronze at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
