An introduction to the Swedish Hockey League

In this introduction to the Swedish Hockey League, I attempted to compare the current SHL teams (and a few classic teams in Allsvenskan) to NHL teams via correlation of play, culture, and history. This is a personal interpretation, but it's a nice way of getting some insight into what is regarded as the third-best hockey league in the world.

Brynas

One of the "original six teams" in Sweden, the team is comparable to the NHL's Original Six Detroit Red Wings. Brynäs is a classic team, has won many championships, and they are always competitive no matter the lineup.
