Today, the Ladies crown would have played their first match in the B-World Championships in ice hockey, but the championship of French Angers was canceled due to the corona virus.

For Erica Udén Johansson, the tournament was supposed to be the last adventure with the national team with the hope of taking Sweden back to the A-World Cup.

Instead, she announces that it has already been played in the Women's Crowns.

"I do not have the same desire to opt out of, among other things, school for tournaments and camps as before," she writes in a message on Instagram, adding:

“There has been blood, sweat and tears all these years in the pursuit of the women's crowns once again standing on the podium in a big tournament. Unfortunately, it was something I never got to experience. Something that weighs heavily on me, but also served as fuel for continued efforts. ”

Erica Udén Johansson made her debut in the women's crown season 2008-2009 but trained with the national team for the first time already 16 years ago. In the blue-yellow place she did 170 games and got to experience five World Cups and three Olympic Games.

“It is with both joy and a little sadness that I think back on everything I have been able to be part of in the national team. Everything has not gone as I always wanted, but at the same time, the brides, leaders and the different places have taught me so much. "

However, the AIK player does not close the door completely for the national team in the future and concludes his post on Instagram with "never say never".
