Last week, the three of us at a hockey game in Linköping. The Linköping Lions play in the first division of Sweden, the so-called "Elitserien. They played against Djurgarden, a Stockholm club sport with hockey division.
Hockey is very popular in Sweden and also very common. Many villages and towns have their hockey club. As the hockey season began buses had small flags on the side. McDonalds staff wore hockey jerseys. Even on TV you see very often hockey games and everything that goes with it.
The stadium in Linköping is fairly new and looks very good. It says Cloetta Center has and the name of the main sponsors. Cloetta is a candy manufacturer. Will soon contribute about Cloetta . Post From playful
was not much different from ice hockey games in Germany. However, the fans were not quite so emotional and combative as I know it from Germany.
Perhaps it is on the Swedish mentality, or perhaps because there was no alcohol buy.
Linköping scored the decisive 3-2 in extra time.
