Jack Berglund misses the Junior World Championship: "Emptiness"

Jack Berglund, 18, misses the Junior World Championship in ice hockey. Färjestad's center got an unlucky shot on his hand in the practice game against Germany on Christmas Eve. I feel emptiness, says Berglund to Värmlands Folkblad.

Berglund was about to block a shot in the second period, but the puck hit completely wrong.

I continued playing the shift out, but when I got to the bench, I felt that something was wrong and had to go out to the locker room and then on to the hospital, says Berglund to the newspaper.

My index finger is broken and some bone in my hand is broken. It got really bad, no fun at all.

It is unclear how long the Färjestad talent will be out, but he will now leave Canada and likely await surgery in Sweden, he reports.

I was looking forward to this so much. I feel emptiness, says Berglund.

No decisions have been made about a possible replacement for the squad, says Christian Winnberg, press officer for the Junior Crowns.

Sweden plays its premiere match in the World Championship against Slovakia on Boxing Day, the first group stage match of four.
