Swedish Hockey’s Vice President Peter Forsberg (not that Peter Frosberg, this one is a career administrator for the national program), General Manager Tommy Boustedt, the SHL’s CEO Jorgen Lindgren and their sporting director Johan Hemlin were invited to meet with NHL General Managers at their annual meeting in Boca Raton, Florida.
“To my knowledge it has never happened before that representatives of any single European country has been invited to such a meeting, where the NHL's General Managers are in place for several days of meetings on topical issues. It is a unique opportunity for us as representing Swedish hockey to speak directly to those who take the decisions out of the NHL clubs,” says Peter Forsberg.
