“The event has been going on since 2000, when Jarfalla was the association with the most players in the Eliteserien from the same mother team,” says Mattias Sebelius at Jarfala HC.
“It’s with great pride and joy that we’ll be able to hold the event together with Niklas Kronwall. It means a lot for our youngsters and young people in the association. They’re rarely given an opportunity to see the world stars in a similar event. This is an event for the whole family and a great experience overall, both before and after the game, which has historically drawn a large audience.”
