SDHL - November Review - Leksand IF

4. Leksand IF

Leksand IF won six of eight matches in October. But November started with a double defeat to MODO Hockey including not scoring at all in their home match. They have however licked their wounds and come out and won their next two matches to retain fourth in the table. Their stand out scorers are still Swedish double Olympian, Anna Borgqvist and former Calgary Inferno forward and Canadian Danielle Stone. But it was young assistant captain and defender Maja Nyhlén Persson and the experienced forward, Sofia Engström who were selected for Swedish national team. 30 year old Engström had not played an international match for four years before the Four Nations Cup. However, all eyes were on Nyhlén Persson, who only turned 18 on the 20 November. Having already impressed at the Pyeongchang Olympics earlier this year, she again made her mark on the international stage with two assists in four games. She could well be playing hockey in NCAA next year.
