Sven's first training session with the Anchorage Armada didn't go particularly well due to the cultural difference between the SMJHL and Swedish Hockey. Apparently teams in the SMJHL don't drink warm reindeer blood while praying to the Norse trickster god Loki in old Norse before every training session which confused Sven greatly. His teammates were mostly terrified of Sven's extreme training regiment. The league seems to frown upon sacrificing living animals to Pagan gods as a tribute for success in the hockey world. There's a lot of difference between Hockey culture in the Nordic countries and  North America so  Sven's having a bit of a hard time adjusting at the moment.

Once the blood magic pagan ritual part of his training regiment ended, he did show incredible promise in the stickhandling department and he seems to be improving defensively as well. After training was done, he drank four PBR tallboys and passed out in the locker room for eight hours while listening to Lamb Of God on his iPhone.
