No! That was the one event I thought Canada had for sure! We'll take the gold in 2012, I swear it!
To all those who complain about Hans Egan not being a Finnish name:
(sarcasm) Of course, people in one country can't have names that are common in another country! (/sarcasm)
Seriously, people! It's not that big a deal. It sounded to me like a generically European name, rather than necessarily being specific to Finland.
Sure, it's probably the case that the team didn't look up any names from Finland, and instead pulled something out of their... hat. But maybe not. Maybe they did, and the names they found were in line with Mr. Egan's. Sure, it would have been cool to have a "proper" ethnically Finnish name. But that doesn't mean it can't be rationalized away (retcon!).

Dude... Everyone's missing the point... Hans Egan on the Finnish team? Obvious fake beard? He's a fake Finn! He's not actually Finnish! That was the point! :-D
