Met my amazing niece after work for some girly time. And after a couple of hours it was time to head down to Kungsträdgården and all the festivities around welcoming our pride and joy back to Sweden after their win in the ice hockey world championships in Copenhagen. The park was crowded with cheering people wearing their jerseys. The sun was shining from a clear blue sky and it was quite warm to stand there in the sunshine waiting for the players. The rock group who wrote the theme song “En för alla för en” back in 2013 for that championship was there to play the song as the players entered the stage. They play a few tunes of it every time we score a goal – and it really injects new energy to everyone. A magic moment and I am so glad I went. And great to share it with my niece!
What a tournament! We won every single game and lost only one point when we won on overtime. And then we beat Switzerland after overtime and penalty shots. What a game! But, we managed to come out on top and defend our gold from last year. So much fun to follow the team and I am already looking forward to next year.
