Tre Kronor Adds Max Friberg for Key World Championship Match

The group stage is about to be decided for Tre Kronor in the home World Championship. With two matches left to play, Sweden leads the group and is so far unbeaten. Now, national team captain Sam Hallam chooses to bring in fresh legs for the final sprint.

Max Friberg, who was previously a reserve under the championship, is reported to the squad and is game-ready already for the match against France on Saturday afternoon.

Friberg has been a key part of Hallam's national team in several four-nation tournaments this season, and now the Frölunda captain gets the opportunity also in World Championship contexts.

The 32-year-old scored 34 points in 51 regular season matches in the SHL this season.

Thus, Tre Kronor has three open spots to report new players. William Karlsson will likely take one of them. The Vegas center told Expressen earlier this week that he will join the squad, but nothing is officially confirmed yet.
