Forsberg Making Come Back For Swedish National Team

Sodertalje Update

Blaz Gregorc- A tall and lanky defenseman. Gregorc is not a fast skater, but has decent mobility for a player of his stature. Has decent hockeysense and puck skills and likes to joins the rush. Pretty good skills offensively and fairly solid in his own end too. Is, however, much too soft and should become [...]

Lulea update

Mattias Modig-An all-round goaltender with good hockey sense. Has a decent glove, is good with the stick and has the attitude of a winner. Always looks calm in net and has few, if any, weaknesses.

Dennis Bozic- Bozic is a rather [...]
