Erkki Ilmari Miinala (born 19 August 1986 in Kemi) is a Finnish goalball player. He began playing at age ten, but did not become serious about the sport until 19. His visual impairment is due to retinitis pigmentosa which is an inherited, degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment. Outside goalball he plays drums in a rock band and works as a transcriber.[1] He was a member of Finland's gold medal-winning men's goalball team at the 2012 Summer Paralympics.[2]
