- It has gone very fast.

My wife and I flew from Frankfurt last night and came to Ängelholm late in the evening and now I'm here.

I am very happy with this solution so I can play a match and I hope to be able to help Rögle BK, says Smith to the club's website.

The news that star Adam Tambellini will be gone for a long time made sports director Chris Abbot want to bring in a strong addition to the squad.

Smith, who won the Stanley Cup with Chicago in 2013, is on loan from Mannheim in the German league.

And will play for the Scanian club for seven weeks.

- I'm grateful that Mannheim is lending Ben.

I have followed Ben for many years, long before I became sports director, he has lots of experience from the highest level as a professional and has a full toolbox and a winner at all levels.

Like everyone else in the locker room, there are players with just the right character, on and off the ice.

He fills the gap left by Adam Tambellini during his absence, says Chris Abbott.
