IceHockeyGifs posted a snippet of a behind-the-paywall article from GP.se this morning, in which Frolunda Indians coach Roger Ronnberg praises Red Wings 6th overall draft pick Simon Edvinsson amidst a strong SHL preseason’s worth of play:

Coach Roger Rönnberg about Simon Edvinsson’s preseason:
“- I knew he was good, but that he’s able to play shift after shift at such a high level, being so calm with and without the puck.. it was surprising!”
Simon has grown to 198cm (6’6”) tall. #LGRW— IcehockeyGifs (@IcehockeyG) August 20, 2021
And in the FYI department:
I’m sure that other folks have covered this one, but the Frolunda Indians announced that they’ll call themselves “Frolunda HC” starting on September 1st.https://t.co/1Rf1QL5b5Mhttps://t.co/mDhEL8eh9I
The new logo, nickname and uniform come next year.— George Malik (@georgemalik) August 20, 2021
Frolunda’s chairman, Mats Grauers, tells GT.se’s Leotrim Jusufi that the team “ran out of time” to order new uniforms for the 2021-2022 season, so they’ll still wear the Indian head logo for one more year, but sometime around the new year, the team will unveil its new nickname.
