There were four straight losses for Sam Hallams Växjö against Frölunda.

Thus, that era is over in Växjö.

After the match, the coach was hailed by the audience as his children were on the ice.

- It means a lot to me.

It is difficult when you have lost.

But it is something that is felt in the heart, which you take with you, he says and continues:

- It's damn emotional when you come into the locker room after the match and thank the guys.

It's guys you've had there for a long time that mean a lot.

One of those who has been with us all the time is Erik Josefsson.

- It is clear that it feels a little extra that Sam will not be here next season as he has been here for ten years, he says.

Sam Hallam is proud of what he has achieved in Växjö.

- No one can take away the three gold from Växjö Lakers and I am part of them.

Winning one championship can probably be done by everyone, but winning three requires that the entire organization works.

That proof hangs there in the ceiling, he says.

Opponent coach Roger Rönnberg is impressed by his colleague and competitor.

- I am cruelly impressed by what Sam has done and what Växjö has done as an organization.

In one way I am happy to avoid Sam in the league, but in another way I am happy that he has forced me to become a better coach, says the Frölunda coach.
