Yesterday the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation announced that they had come to an agreement with the Swedish Women’s National Team on a contract that would be in force for all games played by the Damkronorna from October 14, 2019 onward.
The agreement came three weeks in advance of the now-cancelled Four Nations Cup tournament that Sweden had been scheduled to host starting November 4. We are told the agreement includes reimbursement for wages lost while playing for the national team, health insurance to cover injuries incurred playing for the national team, medal bonuses for the Olympics and the Top level of the World Championships, and a bonus if the Damkronorna successfully move back into the Top group after competing at the Div IA World Championships in France in 2020.
