The JVM squad was almost nailed down - the youngest were eliminated

Four players and four leaders, including national team captain Tomas Montén, had previously been forced to rebid JVM due to covid-19.

Now the squad is almost completely finished.

Among the six who were thinned out the day before departure were the only two born in 2003, Simon Edvinsson and Simon Robertsson.

The players in the squad that will represent Sweden were born in 2001 and 2002.

Another should be removed from the squad before departure.

On Sunday, a 25-man squad travels to Edmonton.

"For some reason we have to wait until Sunday morning to make the final decision regarding the squad.

However, I would like to point out that it is not covid-related ", says Juniorkronorna's temporary national team captain Joel Rönnmark.

The Junior WC starts on Christmas Day and is broadcast on SVT and Viaplay.
