Ice hockey SWE-CZE friendly

What a nice coincidence - just before the Euro Hockey Tour in Stockholm, the Czech national ice hockey team was invited for a friendly match against Sweden. Guess where - in Kinnarps Arena, Jönköping (Huskvarna, to be correct). We organized a great group of international student, most of them were persuaded to cheer for the Czech team.

Kinnarps Arena. / Definitely the longest ticket belt in the whole Råslätt region (52 tickets).


Full but quiet house. / The crowd - find one crazy person (it's getting more challenging).




Our Czech fan club!


What a nice coincidence - the guy on the very right is Ludek, who lives in Jönköping for some 20 years, he personally knows the two Czech players who play for Jönköping's HV71 (what a coincidence) - Hrdina and Balastik. We also met Mrs. Hrdinova and Mrs. Balastikova.

Even though we cheered for our heroes all the way, we stood by them when they needed us the most, we overshouted the silent swedish fans, they still lost 1:2 in the overtime.

Contrasting emotions after the match.
