"I will take two gold medals today," he says after a 3–2 win in the final against Falun.

Former great player Mika Kohonen has coached Storvreta to three straight Swedish Championship gold medals on the men's side, but is on sick leave for the second time this season due to heart problems.

"I love him more than anything. I played for him," Gabriel Kohonen tells Viaplay.

The final in Avicii Arena was a thriller. With 2 minutes 48 seconds left in the match, Filip Langer scored the decisive 3–2 goal.

The SM gold is the Uppsala club's tenth in total. Falun has seven SM golds.

"We face the second-best team in the world and it's always an even match," says Kohonen.
