It is the start of the new year, and the start of the second half of the season for Assat Pori. Right now Assat is in the middle of the pack, fighting with several teams for playoff position. The points race is very close for nearly every team except for the distant winner, Lukko Rauma. Tomas has been playing extremely well lately, creating many scoring opporunities for Assat, and putting in a goal against HPK Hammenlinna on the 29th. The battles continues tomorrow night against the Espoo Blues.
