Ångermanland's Mira Hallin was the best scorer in the qualifiers when she broke the points record with an incredible 41 points in five matches, 25 goals and 16 assists, which is the best of all time.

Teammate Ebba Hedqvist and Småland's Hilda Svensson, with their 38 and 34 points respectively, also broke Filip Forsmark's previous record of 28 points during one and the same TV puck tournament.

Profilernas tips

SVT Sports expert Håkan Loob:

What are you most looking forward to with this year's final game?

- As usual, it is the extremely high competence that they possess.

They are like watching an international match or SHL match in miniature.

The game has developed enormously in the last 10-15 years, says SVT's expert Håkan Loob.

- The match between Stockholm South and Gothenburg is probably the most difficult match.

All the teams are interesting but that match will probably be extra exciting and decided late.

Who do you think will win?

- On the boys' side, it has been a bit of a victory march for Stockholm and it is clear that there is a large selection of players there.

I have well ranked it as if it is Stockholm and Gothenburg that are at the top.

- On the girls' side, you are almost a little shocked when you look at Ångermanland, which has only scored points.

The question is whether there is anyone who can stop such a steamroller.

Which players should you keep an extra eye on?

- Mira Hallin in Ångermanland who scored 41 points in five matches, it is really fantastic.

And then Ebba Hedqvist who she often plays in the same chain with.

But it's ice hockey and it's going to be replayed.

- Then it's easy to get caught up in the Stockholm guys who have scored points.

Stockholm Syd's Linus Eriksson with 13 points and also Dalarna's Zaki Crookes who has a lot in him and he has all the parts to be really good over time, he is already a regular in Leksand's J18 team.

SVT Sports commentator Chris Härenstam:

What are you most looking forward to with the tournament?

- This year's tournament is very high profile.

On the girls side, there are a number of players who are already SDHL players.

There is a strong litter on the boys' side as well, but there are also many good 07s, says SVT's commentator Chris Härenstam.

What stands out in this year's edition?

- There are a number of 07s in important roles.

06 is good but it is a question of whether the 07s are not an even stronger litter.

Which players should viewers keep an extra eye on?

- Ebba Hedqvist and Mira Hallin in Ångermanland, Jenna Raunio and Hilda Svensson in Småland.

- Victor Eklund in Stockholm Syd who is the brother of William Eklund, Alexander Zetterberg in Medelpad who already plays J18 hockey with Timrå.

Filip Holst in Stockholm South and Hugo Laring who is a goalkeeper in Gothenburg.
