Sweden names their final roster for the 2022 Winter Olympics

On Friday, the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation announced their final 25-man roster for the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.

"We are very happy with this squad, which we have had the opportunity to build together based on the best available players. In terms of team by team, this Tre Kronor team is at least as good as any other team in the Olympics. The goalkeepers perform at the top level," head coach Johan Garpenlov said.

He added, "The back side has a broad competence, with both large and strong and mobile players. Among forwards, we have a number of good two-way players who are strong defensively but can also produce offensively."
