Elite Prospects Notes and Trivia

Team Kuortane was founded in 2010 as a part of a development project by the Finnish Ice Hockey Association. The team operates at the Kuortane Sport Resort and serves to develop women's hockey in Finland. It was previously known as Team Oriflame from 2010 to 2014. The franchise rights were transferred to Girls Hockey Center in February 2026 after after the Finnish Ice Hockey Association pulled its funding from the project.
