A star in his homeland and on the international scene, Porvari was one of the first Finns to come over and play in the NHL.
Other than that, I can't find much else about him.
I can say that he knew some English, so he served as an interpretor to teammate and fellow countryman Tapio Levo when he
also joined the Rockies at the same time.
He finished the 82-83 season in Austria, but would return to Finland the following season with TPS and would finish his career
playing in the city of Turku.
He was inducted into the Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame in 1994.
