Crowded in the stands, tight and tough down on the ice. As is usually the case on a Monday derby in Hälsingland. On Swedish bandy's most tradition-laden day, a Russian stood out. Denis Sadakov's early hat trick showed Bollnäs the way to an 8–5 victory away against Edsbyn.
SportsVilla Lidköping's supporters didn't have time to mourn for long after the women's final loss, before the feelings were replaced with joy. The club's men's team won the final against Edsbyn with 7–3, and thereby took their second consecutive National Championship gold. It's completely magical, says Villa Lidköping's Petter Björling.
SportsAudience party in the stands, but on the ice, most things went against Bollnäs. Arch-rival Edsbyn won the Boxing Day derby with 6–1 after the home team conceded two own goals and missed a penalty. It's important to win a match like this, says Edsbyn's veteran Per Hellmyrs.
