Nordin and Fällman chose to focus on the club team Luleå most recently, but are now back at Damkronorna.

Grahm is not with this time either.

In September, she told SVT Sport that she does not close any doors to the national team.

- The squad for the November gathering has skills, hunger and a lot of experience.

Since the last gathering, we have replaced as many as nine players as we also had the chance to take out three goalkeepers for the gathering in Härnösand and Sundsvall, says national team captain Ulf Lundberg in a press release.

It is also a young squad that Lundberg has taken out, Linnea Johansson and Hanna Thuvik were born in 2002 and another six players were born in the 00s.

His first gathering with the national team was a training camp at the end of August.

Now the first international matches for the ice hockey national team captain await, against Norway on November 4 and Denmark the day after.

"It is extremely positive that we face international opposition," says Lundberg

Actually, Damkronorna would have met Finland in three international matches in November, but those matches will instead be played in December, closer to the World Cup.

Sweden will play the B-WC in Angers in France on 18-25 April.
