For the fourth season in a row, out of four possible, the 23-year-old scored at least one point per match in Elitserien and the Finns fine feat was crowned with an SM gold together with Edsbyn.
Motivation of the jury:
“Tuomas is a player who has delivered at the highest level ever since he took the step into Elitserien and has also been a direct deciding factor when Edsbyn has won several titles. Määttä was the big engine of a superb Edsbyn last season and even got to crown it with a delicious art goal in the World Cup finals. The ice skating he owns may even be the best in the world and when he can then add a dazzling club technique, looks and an impressive two-way game, there is not much that is missing. The fact that the Finn is still only 23 years old makes a whole bandy world curious as to whether there can be even more to take off in the Määttäska treasure chest ”.
