Swedish ice hockey hires Johan Forsberg for youth project

Johan Forsberg, 40, has in recent years helped individuals and teams handle pressure, develop, and perform over time. He was part of the leadership staff when Juniorkronorna won the JVM gold in 2026. The acting general secretary of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association, Tony Wiréhn, said: "We are happy to welcome Johan to the association." The specific objectives, duration, and funding of the project have not been disclosed, and it remains unclear how Forsberg was selected for the role. Wiréhn added: "The work is important for Swedish ice hockey's future."
