Tre Kronor has named 20 players for Friday's IIHF World Championship opener against Canada in Fribourg. Two goalies, six defensemen and twelve forwards are registered, leaving room for adjustments. Viggo Björck, 18, is set to become the youngest Swedish player ever in the tournament.
Viggo Björck celebrated his 18th birthday with a goal and an assist as Djurgården defeated Frölunda 3-1 in the SHL. The win avenged earlier heavy losses to the Göteborg side and came before 11,516 fans in Scandinavium. Magnus Hellberg earned his Honken Trophy in a strong performance.
