Leksand - a Södertälje clone?

Leksands IF has just revealed they are adding Stefan Nyman to their back room staff. Now the team from Dalarna has two former Södertälje SK coaches on their payroll - Nyman worked with Leif Strömberg previously, successfully navigating SSK through Kvalserien 2007 as well as 2009. The two teams are once again looking hot candidates to meet in the competition to qualify for the top league. Nyman was offered the role as head coach for SSK before this season, but declined the offer.


Ernie and Bert - back together again

Nyman's exact role is debated. Aftonbladet claim he will work with scouting the opposition while others thinks he might be taking over as assistant from Christer Olsson, or possibly having all three on the bench. One thing does however look certain, Leksand is trying to clone itself into a Södertälje from previous years. The only good thing you can say about their track record is that they managed to hang onto their spot in Elitserien. What it looked like on the rink is best forgotten.
