Five of the JVM heroes take their places in Tre Kronor's preliminary World Cup squad. But don't count out NHL stars such as William Nylander and Adrian Kempe. That's a long shot, says national team captain Sam Hallam.
Ice hockeyThe Golden Juniors took Tre Kronor by storm last week. If Viggo Björck goes with them to Switzerland, he could become Sweden's youngest World Cup player of all time. "You always hope to play in the World Cup," says the 18-year-old.
Ice hockeyAll six successful juniors will remain with Tre Kronor after the team's tournament victory at the Fortuna Hockey Games last week. Seven new players, including five from the NHL, will be added to the World Cup roster for the home tournament in Ängelholm this week.

Ice hockeyViggo Björck was not allowed to play in the U18 World Championship as he chose to complete the SM final series with Djurgården's juniors. Now he has been selected for Tre Kronor instead - as one of six JVM gold medalists. "It is impressive to see such a young player with that understanding of the game and maturity," says national captain Sam Hallam.
Ice hockeyTwelve of Sweden's golden heroes will be allowed to play in next season's Junior World Championship as well - unless an NHL career gets in the way. "Obviously, it's a huge opportunity again," says SVT's expert commentator Håkan Loob, the former star, about the next World Championship.
Ice hockeySweden won gold at the Ice Hockey World Championship for the first time in 14 years after a 4–2 win against the Czech Republic in the final. "It tastes like magic," Victor Eklund told TT.
Ice hockeyFor the fifth year in a row, Sweden will play in the semi-finals of the World Junior Ice Hockey Championship - against Finland. This comes after they eliminated Latvia 6–3 in the quarter-finals. "We did well in that," Anton Frondell tells SVT.
