The role as an expert during the championship will be the ice hockey icon's first real job of this kind.
I've been to a few individual matches, I remember, for SVT during a World Cup. But this is the first time I've done an entire tournament. It feels great fun, "Sudden" tells Expressen and continues:
I've been wanting to be more involved in hockey, and this is a great opportunity for that.
Sundin, 54, has a solid hockey career behind him. He became the first European to be drafted first overall in the NHL (1989) and is the only Swede to score over 500 goals in the NHL.
With Sweden, in addition to the Olympic gold medal in Turin 2006, he also has three World Cup gold medals on his list of achievements.
The Milan Olympics will open on February 6. TV4, SVT and Discovery (HBO Max) share the Swedish rights.
