The arena in Luleå was sold out, with over 6,000 spectators, when Luleå secured the SM gold after 5–2 against Brynäs. And most of them wore red Luleå jerseys.
On many supporters' scarves it read "We do it together". And when the supporters were let onto the ice a while after the final signal, after the players had hugged each other and got their gold helmets, it was obvious that all players and supporters would hug each other.
It's completely magical, especially in front of these fans. They are completely incredible. I would say that we have the world's best fans, says Isak Hedqvist.
"It's completely sick"
The ice was filled to the brim with supporters.
It's completely sick, says a male Luleå supporter to TV4.
Finally, it's home, says another about the gold being back in Norrbotten after 29 years.
I've been shaking. This is the happiest day of my life. Nothing can top this, says a female supporter.
Lifted the SM trophy
Linus Omark opened a bottle of champagne and started by spraying the supporters before taking a swig from the bottle. A little later, he and Erik Gustafsson got to lift the SM trophy amidst great jubilation.
Total happiness. Completely insane. We've fought for this for so damn long and I didn't know if it would become a reality or not. The Covid season felt like they snatched it from us, and then we stumbled on the goalpost against Färjestad three years ago, says Gustafsson to TV4.
To be able to turn it around like this, when no one has believed in us really, all year, is so damn nice. And I think it's so well-deserved too.
