Frölunda are the SHL champions!

The Le Mat Trophy was handed out today to Frölunda, and Andreas Johnson is now the champion of the SHL.

With the series at 3-1 for Frölunda, they headed into game five in Skellefteå to face a tough as nails home team who wanted to force a game six in Gothenburg. The last time Frölunda won it all was 11 years ago and the only player left from that triumph is captain Joel Lundqvist, who has had a career-best year at age 34 this season.

He centred the top line today with former Leafs Joey Crabb and Spencer Abbott, who returned to the lineup from injury.
