Växjö strengthens the forward line with two unexpected acquisitions. One of them is, however, a well-known name for the SHL team's fans.

Robert Rosén ended his hockey career last summer after 15 seasons and four Swedish Championship gold medals with Växjö. Now, the 37-year-old center has been persuaded to make a comeback and has signed on for the rest of the season.

"Henke (Henrik Evertsson, Växjö's sports manager) sparked a flame a few days ago, which has given me a lot of thoughts. But in the end, I felt that I really want to take this chance", says Robert Rosén to the club's website.

On Thursday morning, the news also came that Emil Larsson is breaking with Örebro with immediate effect, after nearly five years in the club. Shortly thereafter, Växjö announced that the 31-year-old had also signed on for the rest of the season.

"A big physical player with fine hands. A very tough player to meet who often stays up front and scores important goals", says Henrik Evertsson.
