Coach’s Challenge: What makes Rikard Grönborg an NHL target?

Rikard Grönborg extended his contract with the Zürich Lions after only coaching the team for a year, and his new contract includes an NHL clause.

Mr. Grönborg might be the next European coach in the NHL and listeners get to hear about his thoughts on the draft lottery for starters, but the discussion turns to the difference between coaching a National team, as Mr. Grönborg did with the Sweden U18 and men’s national team, to a club coaching job with the Zürich Lions in the NLA.

It is clear that coach Grönborg is happy in Zürich and that he cherishes the challenge of coaching in one of the most diverse leagues in Europe.
