We recently caught up with Ottawa Charge defender Ronja Savolainen over email to learn about how she's spent her offseason. Here's what we found out.
Where have you spent most of your summer?
In Sweden. Gothenburg!
Did you take a favorite vacation?
I’ve been in Spain, visiting one of my closest friends. Also been in Rome, Italy, visiting my aunt. Hard to say what was my favourite because they were so different but let’s say Spain because that was my real vacation without having to work out. So it was more like eat, sleep and tan, haha!

What’s your song of the summer?
Uuuuuuuh, that's a hard one. “Sata Enkelii” - Isac Elliot (Finnish one). I'm stuck in Finnish music now… my fiancée doesn’t like it and that makes me like it even more 🤭 .
Did you watch any good shows or movies?
What and where was the best meal you ate?
For sure when my fiancée and I went glamping and we made food (she did, I’m useless in kitchen) 🫠 . She made a tomato pasta with hot salami and burrata on top of it. I sent a picture of it! Best part of it was 100% the view!!
How many days of the week have you been on the ice?
Now it’s been 3 times a week. Later, it will be 4-5 times.
If you could be guaranteed to improve one element of your game this offseason, what would it be?
To say one is kind of hard, but I would like to improve my shooting more next season and be more dangerous in that part of my game. It would help me take advantage of scoring chances.
The best thing about the 2025-26 Charge is going to be...
FAAAAAAANS = Energy (they give us so much energy that gives us always an opportunity to win games) 🤍
