Pressackreditering och information om Karjala Tournament

- Det känns otroligt roligt att få visa upp Tre Kronor för hockeypubliken igen och Karjala Tournament är en klassisk turnering som vi nu ser fram emot att delta i. Mycket kommer självklart att vara annorlunda utifrån Coronapandemin och vi känner ett stort ansvar att skapa en trygg miljö för spelare och ledare och följa de riktlinjer som finns för att undvika smittspridning. Samtidigt känns det bra att få vara igång, Olof Östblom, tävlingschef på Svenska Ishockeyförbundet.
