He said early on that he wanted to come and looked very much forward to being part of it, says the Swedish Ice Hockey Association's national team manager Anders Lundberg in Viaplay.
Previously, a number of players have given the thumbs up to the World Championship in Globen in May, among others Mika Zibanejad and Mikael Backlund.
