Our system here in Finland based on amateur-hockey until Your are so staff that You can take place in SM-Liiga practises or You have chances play in the mainteam. We haven`t or I haven´t hear tryout list here in Finland. After all, in Finland a player needs a licence. Licences pays that Team where You are plying in. Licence is a incurance and You must have it. If something happened, the incurance company pays Your hospitality costs.
If You are hear in Finland, You must co offices so that they can see You. In Helsinki, we have two proficial-teams that also play amateur-hockey in A-Juniors: HIFK and Jokerit

You can use local-busis. Espoo is very near by Helsinki.
Our amateurs plays in Mestis or Suomi-sarja
That profial teams: Jokerit, Blues and HIFK are not only teams playing hockey in Helsinki-area including all suburbs like Espoo, Vantaa etc....
