Most people would probably remember their World Cup debut, but for Jesper Frödén it will be extra difficult to forget.
It was he who showed the way with 1-0 against Switzerland at a stage when a pressured Tre Kronor had to decide which team they want to be in this tournament.
Then he scored another goal in a match that ended 7-0 - a very good World Cup start for the 26-year-old who was called in during the tournament.
- Of course, it's great fun to make a World Cup debut.
It's something I've been waiting for.
Especially since I sat on the sidelines in the first two matches.
It's fun to go in and contribute with good energy and also get a dividend, he says to SVT Sport.
Did you save the puck?
- Yes, I got the puck after the match.
It turns out to be put in a nice place at home.
Intense discussions with NHL clubs
With his 22 goals, Frödén finished third in SHL's shooting during the past season.
In total, he scored 40 points in 52 matches and the World Cup effort so far should not have made him less hot on the market.
The Stockholmer is on an expiring contract with Skellefteå and according to information to SVT Sport, it is the foreign focus that is the main focus, even if a continuation in Västerbotten is not completely ruled out.
Half of all NHL clubs should have heard of it during the season and right now there are intense discussions with a handful.
"Nothing that is 100 percent"
Jesper Frödén himself wants to focus on the ongoing World Cup tournament.
- I do not really try to think so much about what is to come but try to live in the present and do what I can to influence the here and now and win hockey matches for Sweden.
That is probably what I put the most focus on.
What happens in the future I have to wait and see.
Have you excluded Skellefteå next season?
- It is not something that is 100 percent, it is not.
We will simply see what happens.
I do not have a good answer to that right now, but we will have to take it later.
Tre Kronor's WC squad contains five players who are all connected to Skellefteå.
In addition to Frödén, there are also Pär Lindholm, Andreas Wingerli, Jonathan Pudas and Oscar Lindberg.
- Yes, we are some old men from Skellefteå or who have played there before.
They are all extremely good hockey players and good people.
Somehow it proves that we are doing something good up in Skellefteå that produces so many good players.
I have had a good time up there during my two years, says Frödén.
