International play
Rakkolainen previously served as captain of Kiekko-Espoo Naiset in the Naisten Liiga (NSML).[1]
Rakkolainen was officially named to the Finnish roster for the 2020 IIHF Women's World Championship on 4 March 2020, prior to the IIHF canceling the tournament on 7 March 2020 in response to public health concerns related to COVID-19.[2][3] The 2020 World Championship would have been Rakkolainen's debut with the Finnish women's national team at an IIHF-organized international tournament, though she previously represented Finland at select tournaments in the Euro Hockey Tour during the 2018–19 and 2019–20 seasons.[4][5]
