It is a happy and relieved Arvid Henrikson that speaks with EOTP a day after the Bronze Medal Game in Sweden’s U20 league.
“It felt so good to win the last game of the season. It’s not fun to finish fourth in a situation like that. It was a great feeling for the whole team after the season that we have had.”
At one point during the season his team, AIK, lost 16 in a row, and finished dead last in the SuperElit North. But AIK managed to get into the playoffs via the continuation series. The 10 lowest-ranked teams from the North and South play a new series, where AIK placed fifth and went into the league playoffs.
