S59 Team Sweden Roster Announcement

Hello… *taps mic* is this thing on?

First and foremost, I would like to extend a huge congratulations to @roastpuff on behalf of everyone here at Team Sweden. We are losing a big part of our team, but we know Roast is going to do great things at his new job as IIHF Commissioner! With that being said, we are proud to announce our new CO Jess @sköldpaddor ! Jess is an integral part of our LR and the perfect person to take over and help lead this team with Stammer. We are all super excited to see what the future holds!

With the playoffs finishing up soon, we are excited to have the team back together for another IIHF run. The last couple of seasons have not gone the way we wanted, and we look to change that this year. We are very privileged to continue pursuing the sport that we love, and we would like to extend our deepest gratitude and well wishes to all the front-line workers and staff that have worked tirelessly in this unprecedented pandemic. Our deepest hope is that we will be able to provide you a brand of entertaining hockey as we all work towards being able to play in front of all our amazing fans. Last season, the Tre Kronor fielded a roster full of promising up-and-coming talent, led by veteran Swedish mainstays. With the competition continuing to become fiercer each season, last season’s roster did not achieve what they set out to do, which was to finish on that podium. With another season under our belt, the youth movement in full swing, alongside the steady veteran presence, the Tre Kronor hope for better results this season. The infusion of young talent has provided a spark for the King Carl faithful, and we hope to shock a lot of people during this tournament.

Last season's results were unacceptable for King Carl and the Swedish National Team; we are hungry to right the wrongs of last season and once again aim for a medal finish. It is Sweden’s time to show that they are a force to be reckoned with & we hope this tournament is the start of something special. We would like to extend all participating nations our best wishes and we can't wait to see you out on the ice. May the best nation win!
