Well since most people don't know about MoDo hockey....
Here is it all!  

    MoDo has produced many Stars in the NHL such as:
Peter Forsberg,  Anders Kallur, Anders Hedberg, Thomas
Jonsson,  Lasse Lindgren, Lars Mohlin, Markus Naslund, 
Niklas Sundstrom, and my fav.  Anders Eriksson!


Fast Facts:
MoDo comes from THE BIg factory in Ornskoldsvik.   This factory
is also called MoDo.  It is a paper industry.

MoDo has two great prospects named Henrik and Daniel Sedin.
They are TWINS!  Most likely they will go number 1 ranked
and number 2 ranked in the 1999 draft.

Anders Eriksson studied Economics with Anders Soderberg and
Martin Sedin(no relation to the Sedin twins).

Here's some things on some good players from MoDo.

Anders Eriksson:

He was born in January 1975, in Bollnas Sweden.  He moved
to Ornskoldsvik and played with MoDo at just 16.  The
year before this he had been selected as the best Defenseman
in a National Tournament for players under 15.  
His older brother, Jorgan Eriksson played with the MoDo elite
team while Anders was doing this.  Anders played his first season
with the elite team in 92/93.  He was drafted by my Red Wings in
1993.  Although he is in Adirondack he's still loved here!
He is injured right now unfortunatly. :(


Sedin Twins:

  They're expected to go respectedly at 1 and 2 in the
draft of 1999.  They are wearing jersey numbers 9 and 10,
on the MoDo junior team.  Someone told me it's next to impossible
to tell which is which.  Last year they won the Swedish Championship
for teams over under 16 and under 18.  Well here are some things
that people have said about these two players:
The lonliest man in the world must be Jorgen Roos- He is the
third man on the Sedin Line.  Or how about this one:  I think
they have dropped on earth just to play hockey--NHL SCOUT.
Or this one:  I have followed this tournament for many years
and I haven't seen anything like this before.


So my theme is MoDo sounds like fun!


AIK

One of two teams from Stockholm (the other is Djurgarden).  The Globen Arena 
where  AIK plays can hold 13, 850 people.  Some of the great players from
AIK are:  Micheal Nylander, Mattias Norstrom, Niclas Sunblad, and Tomas
Gradin.   This is the team in which Borje Salming ended his long and illustrious 
career.
   Some of their great players this year are:  Pavel Patera, Otakar Vejvoda,
and Martin Prochazka.   

Also Pelle Lindbergh played there!



Brynas Tigers

    Classic team in Sweden.  Great team in the 60's and 70's they also 
won the Gold  in 1993.  But lost in 1995 in Sudden Death (what a way to go out!)
NHL players from here:  Andreas Dackell, Christer Olosson, Tomas Sandstrom!!,
Fredrik Modin, and Mats Naslund.

Great Players and great coaches make up this team!


Djurgarden Lions

This is the other team in Stockholm!   Their 3rd straight Gold came in
1991  Some Stars from there are:  Mats Sundin(nuff said!), Johan Garpenlov
(the world according to Garp(enlov)), Tommy Albelin(who?  Cup winners against
MY wings!), and San Jose's Magnus Ragnarsson.  Marcus Nilsson played there
as well!

HV Blue Bull:

The WHAT?  oh well I don't get it! hehe  VERY YOUNG TEAM!  They won gold in 
1995 though!  
Johan Lindblom was big in Jonkoping (where?)  HV hasn't produced a NHL
player yet (their working on it give em' some time!)  Johan Davidsson
was a Mighty Quakers second pick in '94.


Leksand Stars:

Well i guess Sweden has their STARS too!  Leksand has only about 10,000
people (Only!  sheesh that's more than my hometown!)  This is like hockeytown!
You live and die hockey huge part o'life here!  
The Samuelsson's used to play here so did Stefan Bergqvist.

Malmo Red Hawks

Malmo we won't even get into!  My page doesn't need to tell ANYTHING
about them!  (We'll just say the only people that like that team is 
people who live there!Because I haven't found any other Swede that will 
tell me ANYTHING about them!)

     Magnus Lassi and Martin Sedin helped me with
this page and for that I thank them! See the only
team I knew SWEDEN had was MoDo until these two helped
me make my little page on the Swedish Elite League.
