‘“Anytime you can be a captain on international teams – U18’s, U20’s – especially for short term, it’s a very hard task as a leader. Especially when you’re pooling together your best players, and you have to pick somebody out of that group of best players from your country to be a leader. He’s been one of those for Sweden, and we know how good a hockey country they are. And we want to bring those players to our organization – leaders that bring a two-way game, work hard.”’
