Former Sweden coach Ulf Lundberg lands assistant role with PWHL San Jose

Ulf Lundberg led the women’s national ice hockey team as head coach for six years. Now he has completed a new assignment as assistant coach with PWHL team San Jose.

Lundberg retired after the Olympics in Italy last winter, where he led Damkronorna to fourth place.

Now the next step in his career is clear. The 46-year-old coach is moving to California and will become the second Swedish coach in the league, after Pernilla Winberg, who is an assistant coach in Boston.

Great fun! An inspiring challenge, Lundberg tells Nya Wermlands-Tidningen.

San Jose's roster currently contains no Swedish players.

Lundberg has previously been head coach of Södertälje's men's team in Hockeyallsvenskan. Before that, he led Sweden's U16 and U17 national teams on the boys' side. The assignment in San Jose is his first club job in women's hockey.
