Sweden's national ice hockey team, Tre Kronor, has announced its 25-player roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano, marking the return of NHL players after 12 years. Coach Sam Hallam selected a mix of veterans and young talents, including surprises like goalie Jesper Wallstedt and defenseman Philip Broberg. Players expressed excitement about the opportunity, with gold as the clear target.
SVT Sport visited the Santa Giulia hockey arena in Milano just days before the Olympic ice hockey tournament begins on February 5. While site manager Veronika Muhlhofer remains optimistic after successful January test matches, one builder doubts completion on time amid round-the-clock work by over 1,000 laborers.
