Mikael Renberg wants smaller rinks in Sweden: "Gives a more fun ice hockey"

The Junior World Cup is played on a small rink, just like the NHL and all other ice hockey in North America.

SVT Sports expert Mikael Renberg would like to see that in Sweden as well.

- It is taste and taste of course.

I think the small rinks give a more fun ice hockey, and I think you develop.

If you take forwards as an example, it will be better to get into tight spaces.

If I look at how some Swedish players develop, you like to end up on the outside, and there will be a lot of games on the outside, and I think that is very, very boring, he says, and continues:

- If you are going to go over to the NHL and are used to being on the outside, you will never succeed over there.

However, Renberg's expert colleague Jonas Andersson does not agree.

- I can agree that there will be a greater entertainment value on small rinks, but in terms of development, I think we should keep the big rinks.
