Moving down to Allsvenskan (2nd highest level), the same can be said.
America and haven't had a cup of coffee in 'The Show' (NHL) or weren't a top player in the AHL or ECHL, there's not a good chance clubs in the SHL will show interest in you. In Sweden, the game is all about speed + skill.įor pro leagues in order here, you have the SHL (Swedish Hockey League), Allsvenskan, HockeyEttan, Sweden Division 2, and so on.
From their elite level SHL clubs all the way down to their youth development programs where youth athletes initially learn the game, it's impressive to see how the Swedes teach the game.
